FSF and real estate development partner Cafritz Interests multi-family division NOVUS Residences LLC are proposing to redevelop this property by building a total of 425 multi-family dwelling units within five years, including 140 accessible and affordable senior dwelling units and 285 market rate multi-family dwelling units. FSF plans are driven by affordability requirements of existing U.S. Housing and Urban Development and Virginia Housing Development Authority loans, current building operations costs, and Fairfax County efforts to redevelop nearby Lake Anne Village Center.
FSF discussed their proposal with the Reston Planning and Zoning Committee on November 18, 2013. It will almost double the number of dwelling units on the Fellowship House site and may have significant impacts on adjacent Hickory Cluster Block 1 carriage houses. HCA designated President Michael W. Smith and Vice President Ralph P. Youngren FAIA to officially represent Hickory Cluster in FSF discussions.
UPDATES ... FSF recently contacted and met with HCA to discuss their initial redevelopment plans. FSF also informally discussed their plans with the full RA Design Review Board during a working session on March 18. DRB will schedule required presentations for public comment in the future. HCA will provide more information when available.
