It is frustrating to me that there is so much exisiting building infrastructure in our western Fairfax and eastern Loudoun area that goes un-used and creates “dead zones” of eye-sore property, yet we continue to push new development westward toward Leesburg and beyond.
Hopefully, with creation of the Silver Line metro linking these western suburbs into DC, greater values will be found in these more close-in developments that was overlooked previously.
Here is a great example of re-using urban structures that were run-down and forgotten and making something special that adds quality of life to the community. This is the BGR burger restaurant in Potomac Falls which is basiclly just an old gas sation that had some new life breathed into it by a creative entrepreneur and his architect. This place makes some great gormet burgers and that dead corner of the shopping area is now alive and well.
Adaptive re-use is a sustainable way to develop real estate..develop what is there already.
How can we do this in other nearby locations like Sterling, Herndon, and Sugarland…lots of opportunity.
