Bailey’s Shelter and Supportive Housing in Bailey’s Crossroads won a design award from NAIOP Northern Virginia, a chapter of NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association.
The Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services won the award for the Bailey’s Shelter in the “Build-to Suit Institutional Award” category.
The shelter opened at the end of 2019 on Seminary Road. It has 18 apartments for people transitioning out of homelessness, as well as emergency lodging for 52 men and women.
Nine of the 28 winning projects are in Fairfax County.

Among other awards presented by NAIOP Northern Virginia, the Inova Mather Proton Therapy Center in Merrifield won in the “Interiors: Tenant Space Award” for spaces of 40,000 to 100,000 square feet.
The CIM Group was awarded in the “Real Estate Transaction – Sale” category for its $506 million acquisition of the five-building Southern Towers apartment complex in Alexandria’s West End in August.
Nice building,Mason District must be the architectural mascott to socialism in the DMV. Ironically, the surrounding areas has grown with junk retail, and ever increasing blight, while capital investors flee to Arlington and the outer Fairfax County communities. For example, the once green landscape triangle at the access ramp to Rt 7 off of Columbia Pike has turned into a junkyard, while Crossroads Center continues to lose tenants and boast vacant storefronts. Columbia Pike remains the homeless boulevard in Fairfax with its abandoned lots, a fake 7 Eleven maintenance yard, money laundering tex mex restaurants, and a useless interim park.
What is wrong with this picture?
Have you thought of relocating lately? You seem so unhappy and – dare I say it? – bitter. I hope your new year is better for you.
That's right. Love or leave it!
If I saw the area improving and Baileys being developed into a revenue generating commercial mixed use development, I would have not made my comment.
However, the current leadership only knows how to spend tax payer funds without generating revitalization that serves all constituents. You must be one of those crackpot libs that likes high taxes, increase in crime, poor performing schools, and vacant storefronts with little re-investment of capital in the area. I guess you got what you deserve. I chose to fight for what we need and not acquiesce to the status quo of Section 8 housing and other social tax sucking development.
Terrific News!!! It is a great development.
