Preliminary plans for a $600 million mixed-use community in Loudoun County were recently announced by Buchanan Partners, a commercial developer. BuchananÕs early plans for Arcola Center include work force housing, Main Street retail including high-end lifestyle and big-box formats, entertainment venues, a hotel, and commercial office buildings, some of which may double as live-work spaces. A former slave quarters within Arcola Center will be restored as a tourism and educational destination, and the propertyÕs northwest corner will link to a newly revitalized Village of Arcola.
Buchanan has assembled nearly 400 acres at the northwest corner of Route 50 and the Loudoun County Parkway for the planned Arcola Center development. Construction could begin by 2006.
