Vista Fairfax Corner is a 12-story high rise residential tower consisting of 9 residential floors over 4 levels of parking (one level below grade, three above). The 228-unit luxury apartment community will feature one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, elevated courtyard, rooftop terrace and amenity space, fitness and yoga center, coffee bar, business center, and 330 parking spaces.
The new residential tower will take the place of an existing surface parking area in the southwest corner of the Fairfax Corner Station mixed use community. The tight site is bordered by commercial and retail establishments in a high traffic area for both vehicles and pedestrians.

The new Fredericksburg Nationals Ballpark welcomed guests and players for their first home game yesterday, May 11th, 2021.
The new ballpark is a multi-purpose stadium with 5,000 seats, 300-seat club level facility, 13 suites, and is the home of the newly re-christened minor league Fredericksburg Nationals. Construction started the summer of 2019 with the intent of opening for the 2020 season, however, those plans were delayed by the pandemic. While the 2020 Fredericksburg minor league season was canceled, their Major League Baseball affiliate, the Washington Nationals, was able to make use of the empty ballpark for team training and practice.
The new stadium offers a variety of unique features for fans and guests – with suites located behind the manual score board, at the field level with access to the home team batting cages, a Bullpen Party Deck, installations depicting the history of baseball and the City of Fredericksburg, and an innovative design allowing a 360-degree view so fans can always see the game as they walk around the stadium.
Designed by Tetra-Tech, the multi-purpose facility is seeking LEED Certification and features sustainable solutions like LED lighting, energy efficient appliances, and artificial turf. The choice to use artificial turf not only saves on water and use of fertilizer, but it also allows the venue to host concerts, holiday and light shows, and community events.
Last night’s long awaited home opener was celebrated with optimism and cheering fans as everyone enjoyed a return to traditional summer fun.

L.F. Jennings is underway with construction of a new Poet’s Walk Memory Care Assisted Living facility in Frederick, MD. Poet’s Walk, a Spring Hill Senior Community member, specializes in a personalized approach to memory care assisted living. The single story, 38,000 SF building accommodates 68 residents. The facility is designed and constructed to give occupants a high-end experience. Dining facilities, a bistro, community areas, an ice cream parlor, a salon, and two enclosed courtyards all work to sustaining the community resort atmosphere, while discrete nurse call stations and building security provide support and safety for the residents.
State of the art technology permits staff to monitor patients unobtrusively and remotely, allowing residents a greater degree of domestic independence. Extensive coordination was required for the multiple commercial kitchens, MEP systems rooms, treatment rooms, and specialty (spa, salon) and common areas, all of which have different requirements.
Discrete measures for the containment of the residents are built into the facility to ensure the safety and security of the memory patients.
This is the fourth Poet’s Walk facility L.F. Jennings completes for the Silver Companies and is expected to be complete late Spring 2021.
