Prince William County Approves $380M Town Center Development

The Prince William County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Riverside Station, a 19.2-acre town center development located at the intersection of U.S. Route 1 and Route 123 in North Woodbridge, VA. The $380 million project includes up to 970 housing units and a minimum of 130,000 square feet of non-residential uses, primarily dining and retail.

The proposal aligns with the North Woodbridge Small Area Plan that was approved by the Board of Supervisors in October 2019.  It consists of two parcels, a six-acre former car dealership and the 13-acre Station Plaza Shopping Center. The parcels front along U.S. Route 1 directly across from the Woodbridge Station of the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) and are also bounded by Route 123 and Occoquan Road.

There will be a pedestrian bridge across U.S. Route 1, estimated at $4.7 million, that will connect Riverside Station and other neighborhoods to the east of U.S. Route 1 with the Woodbridge VRE Station. The proposal also includes over one mile of pedestrian connections and shared-use paths throughout the property, as well as a variety of urban parks and open space areas. Eight percent of the dwelling units will be affordable to households earning between 60% and 100% of Area Median Income. Retail offerings will target a mix of national brands with local retailers from the North Woodbridge community.

Riverside Station will be developed in three phases, with construction of the first phase, containing up to 330 dwelling units and 40,000 square feet of non-residential uses, slated to begin in mid-2023 and deliver in 2025.
