Corporate park in northern Virginia becomes the new home of Fairfax County Public Schools

HERNDON, VA  – JLL has negotiated the lease and managed the construction of the buildout to transform nearly 40,000 square feet within two tech park buildings into usable space for classrooms, offices and testing rooms for Fairfax County Public Schools in Herndon, Virginia.

 

JLL represented the tenant, Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), the largest public school system in Virginia, in site selection and lease execution through its brokerage service.

 

JLL’s Project and Development Services (PDS) group managed the project from design through occupancy, which included assisting in site selection and overseeing the budgeting and development of RFPs for design and construction.

 

After negotiating the original lease for 33,186 square feet in December 2021, JLL negotiated the expansion space of 6,366 square feet in March 2022.

 

The two buildings are adjoined by a breezeway and include part of 455 Spring Park Place and the entirety of 465 Spring Park Place.

The JLL Brokerage team representing Fairfax County Public Schools included John Gibb, Managing Director, Tenant Representation. JLL’s PDS team was led by Cheryl Russ, Vice President, Project and Development Services.

 

“What’s really exciting about this project is that it is an adaptive reuse of office space for a school,” Gibb said.

 

“As urban environments get built up, we are left with limited space for building new educational institutions. In this case, it was more efficient to locate an educational facility in one-story buildings that externally resemble a school as much as corporate offices and transforms the buildings into exactly what Fairfax County Public Schools needed.”
