Retail Space Maxes Out at Two Fairfax County Shopping Centers

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA-Two popular retail destinations–the 213,000-sf Burke Centre Shopping Center and the 135,000-sf Franklin Farm Village Center–have recently reached the 100% occupancy level with the help of real estate services firm JBG Rosenfeld Retail Inc. JBGR leasing agents John Mitchell and Bob Schwenger handled the leasing activity at Burke Centre and Franklin Farm, respectively.

Located off Burke Centre Parkway and Route 123, Burke Centre rounded it out its list of tenants by welcoming Fastframe to a 1,600-sf space and Potomac River Running to a 2,000-sf space. At Franklin Farm in Herndon, locally owned chain San Vito Italian Restaurant helped to bring the retail locale up to maximum capacity by taking on a 3,200-sf space. “At the end of the day, our primary objective is to add value to our properties, and reaching 100% occupancy is one way to demonstrate that value,” JBGR principal Jim Garibaldi explains.
