about

The Springfield Commercial Revitalization District, (CRD), located just south of the I-495 and I-95 interchange, contains a variety of retail, office, and residential activities that is accessible by both Metrorail and the Virginia Railway Express at the adjacent Franconia-Springfield Transit Station.  A vision for a walkable, well-connected urban village was established in the Springfield Connectivity Plan in 2010, with goals for higher density development, quality urban design and place-making.  The Greater Springfield/Franconia area has more than 10.7 million square feet of industrial flex space, 4.2 million square feet of office space, and 5.3 million square feet of retail space, including the Springfield Town Center, with tremendous influence on and opportunity for the Springfield CRD.
