The NHP Foundation (NHPF) and Gibson Spyre have been selected by the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority to redevelop 5831 Columbia Pike in Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia.

“This development offers a powerful example of how local government, non-profits, and community-based partners can work together to advance equitable development and opportunity for all,” said Eric Price, President and CEO of NHPF, adding, “Northern Virginia is a region we have long identified as essential to our mission of expanding affordable housing opportunities in the DC metro area.”

Under a proposed 99-year ground lease with Fairfax County, NHPF and Gibson Spyre will develop approximately 160 affordable homes, the majority designated as two- and three-bedroom units, in a sustainable building that will also include space dedicated to nonprofit service providers and extensive open spaces. The team anticipates beginning entitlement and community outreach in 2026, with construction anticipated to start in 2028.
