Anyone who’s been to Ashburn’s vibrant One Loudoun center has seen that there’s plenty of room for growth. A huge swath of vacant land sits north of the center and that’s not counting space in other areas of the massive development. Now, in some new marketing materials recently released, we’re getting a better idea of what that future growth might look like.
One Loudoun has started marketing the first building in its new “Uptown” section. (In case you’re wondering — the current One Loudoun with the Alamo Drafthouse, Barnes & Noble and all its restaurants and shops is officially known as the center’s “Downtown” area.) The new “Building AA” is a 125,000 s.f. office building with retail space on the ground level.
Meanwhile, on a large map of the entire One Loudoun community, we can glean more info about what’s coming — apparently additional office, retail and residential as well as a “future hotel” that is proposed to be five stories with 125 rooms. Since the plans for a sports stadium fell through (as The Burn recently reported), the developers began working to rezone the land for the upcoming Uptown section. Now we get a glimpse of where things are headed.
Can’t build the “uptown” soon enough. That Carnival is way out of place in 1L!
I think it’s better off as an empty field. That at least produces oxygen. Better than making some soulless developer richer.
You should buy it and preserve it for all of us then, that would be awesome 😉
I like the Uptown idea.
Its way better than a bunch of townhomes, which is what I was certain we would end up with. Of course I’d rather have a stadium, but that ship has sailed.
JUst what we need…another plastic fake ‘town center’.
There’s a common belief among county planners and developers that millennials prefer to live in urban areas. So most counties in large metro areas are racing to build as many “walkable downtown areas” as possible in order to simulate urbanity and attract young professionals.
Too much density; space it out.
The more you space it out the further it spreads. Folks in Western Loudoun would prefer it stay east of Leesburg.
They should go after a, “Dave & Busters” type of business for this new section of One Loudoun.
