Hear Plans for St. John’s Wood Redevelopment This Week

(RECAP: After nearly two years of tweaking plans for redevelopment, The Bozzuto Group may be ready to move forward with plans to nearly double the size of St. Johns Wood Apartments near North Point Village Center. After several postponements in 2015, and two postponements in June and July of this year, the proposal has a new Fairfax County Planning Commission hearing date of Sept. 29. The latest plan is to redevelop the 250-unit garden apartment complex into 511 multi-family units and 51 townhomes. That’s actually a scaled-down and lower-rise version from the first plans that were shown to community members more than a year ago. Twelve percent of the units will be set aside for affordable housing. No word yet on what would happen to current residents during redevelopment.)
