Newmark today announced that it has been appointed as the exclusive office leasing agent for 3160 Fairview Park Drive in Falls Church, VA. Recently purchased by Washington Property Company and partner Bailard, the property is currently undergoing strategic renovations transforming it into an exceptional opportunity for a corporate headquarters location.
When the renovations are complete, the 118,000-square-foot building will have a new trophy-quality lobby, innovative fitness center, conference facility and tenant collaboration area with lounge seating. The improvements also include the complete replacement of all building systems, essentially creating a brand new building. The building, located in Northern Virginia’s Fairview Park, offers 2.5 miles of jogging trails, verdant landscaping as well as a structured parking garage. The property also offers close proximity to the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro Station, the new retail in the Mosaic District, Tysons and I-495.
“Given its location and new improvements, we believe 3160 Fairview Park Drive is an ideal corporate headquarters opportunity in the highly sought after Fairview Park setting,” said Newmark’s Executive Managing Director Mike Pepper.
Northern Virginia, specifically Fairfax County, has consistently led the DC Metro area as well as the nation as one of the strongest performing counties in unemployment, economic output and demographic strength. Twenty-three of the top 50 government technology employers in the region are based in Fairfax, contributing to the market’s viability and diversity. The building is located in one of the most promising and stable counties in Virginia, which is projected to grow more in 2017.
Fairview Park boasts an impressive tenant-base including General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Computer Sciences Corp., HITT Contracting, Booz Allen & Hamilton and many more. 3160 Fairview Park Drive is situated across from the Fairview Park Marriott.
Newmark’s Executive Managing Directors Mike Pepper and John Henschel handle the leasing of the office space.
