Project Overview
Center Street Manassas is a proposed mixed-use multifamily development at the corner of Main and Center Street in Historic Downtown Manassas, Virginia — a walkable, transit-served district anchored by the VRE/Amtrak station. It pairs 169 residential units with a five-level municipal parking structure and downtown public-realm improvements, delivered through a negotiated public-private framework with the City of Manassas. One coordinated project resolves downtown parking demand, activates ground-floor frontage, and adds durable residential density to the urban core.
Public-Private Delivery
The project is structured under Virginia’s Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act (PPEA) — letting the City and the development team negotiate infrastructure, design, cost allocation, schedule, and long-term operations inside a single framework. Bringing the municipal garage and the private residential program under one agreement aligns public and private objectives from day one, and it is what makes a complex downtown infill project financeable and deliverable.
