Summary

This topic concerns a proposed mixed-use development at 4085, 4101, and 4103 Chain Bridge Road, a roughly 2.52-acre site. The development concept includes approximately 257 multi-family residential units with amenities and structured parking, 7,395 square feet of retail uses, 26,391 square feet of office space, a proposed east-west road connecting University Drive to Chain Bridge Road, and a north-south pedestrian pathway. The project is being developed under the name "Christopher at [...]" based on partial transcript evidence. A pre-application briefing was presented to the Planning Commission at its January 27, 2025 Regular Meeting/Work Session, and subsequently to the City Council at its February 18, 2025 Special Meeting/Work Session. In both instances, no formal action was taken; the briefings were informational and discussion-only.
