For all you folks that enjoy the traffic at 28/Westfields/Stonecroft/Willard - another new congestion producer in the works. Ironic that they are so keen to develop that parcel when there are still vacant office buildings in the area that have not had a tenant since their construction in 2007.
Actually not that ironic, it is always quite amusing to see developer's flip and flop between their arguments for commercial and/or residential. You know the only reason they suddenly want to turn this property into residential is because commercial has been dead for awhile. Stick to the zoning. The reason we have the mess in NOVA is because every time the wind changes the zoning changes making Comprehensive Plans meaningless. It's zoned I-3 Light Industrial. Keep it that way.
Proposed are two, five-story, residential buildings, each 335,000 square feet and having 335 units. They’re identified as C and D in the artist’s rendition, and building C would also have 5,000 square feet of retail in its base. Buildings G and F would also have 280,000 square feet total of commercial office space. Building E would be a four-story, multifamily structure of 255,000 square feet. And pad sites A and B would feature 10,000 square feet of retail uses.
