😮Over 100 townhomes proposed for first phase of Merrifield office park development
EYA has submitted plans to Fairfax County to build 156 townhomes as the first phase of a major redevelopment of the 41-acre Prosperity Business Campus in Merrifield, VA. This initial phase, part of a larger plan for up to 1,900 residential units, will feature 20 affordable units, a 3,200-square-foot clubhouse, and a pool, replacing four existing industrial buildings.
Key Project Details:
Location: Prosperity Business Campus, Merrifield, VA, near I-66 and the Dunn Loring Metro station.
Phase One: 156 townhomes (including 20 affordable units) on 8.31 acres.
Developer: EYA (contract purchaser).
Overall Plan: Up to 1,900 total homes (mixed-use) in six phases, transforming an office park into a residential neighborhood.
Site Features: Includes parks, a clubhouse, and walkable design elements.
The project aims to modernize the area by replacing aging, suburban-style industrial office parks with higher-density, transit-oriented housing. The proposal is currently under review by Fairfax County officials.
According to the application, the townhouses will have four stories with a maximum height of 55 feet, and a fence will be constructed along the eastern property line to separate the new residences from the adjacent industrial buildings.
The developer has also committed to preserving “as many of the existing trees along Prosperity Avenue as possible” in accordance with guidance in the comprehensive plan amendment adopted by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors on Nov. 18, 2025.
The 156 townhomes proposed by EYA would constitute the first phase of a larger mixed-use neighborhood with up to 1,900 homes, including a total of 332 attached townhouses and 1,568 multifamily units. The developer is also requesting an alternate option for up to 1,703 dwelling units, including 468 townhouses and 1,235 multifamily homes, in a rezoning application currently being reviewed by county staff.
