Huntington Club update

The Huntington Club’s condominium association voted to dissolve last week, the latest step in the ongoing plan to redevelop the 19.5-acre property next to the Huntington Metro into a massive new mixed-use development.

The plan, put together by a developer working with current Huntington Club residents, envisions 50 apartments, 1,000 condos, 65 townhouses, nearly 450,000 square feet of office, 18,000 square feet of retail and a 120,000-square-foot hotel, according to the Washington Business Journal. The proposed development requires an amendment to the county’s comprehensive plan, which will be voted on in December by the Fairfax County Planning Commission and then will go before the board of supervisors in January.

On Friday, Beyer visited Clermont Elementary School along with Lee District school board representative Tamara Kaufax and State Sen. Mark Sickles.
