On the 10 acre site now under development by Hoffman and Associates at the west end of Falls Church, the first four new additions at the West Falls site were announced this week. The new additions are Tierra Encantada, Seoul Spice, BurgerFi and Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls. All four will all be located in the site’s pedestrian-friendly retail corridor, which will connect modern residences, a hotel, medical office space, shopping, dining destinations, cultural space and outdoor community space, while contributing to the vibrant energy of the neighborhood.
“As we approach substantial topping out at West Falls, the largest development in the history of Falls Church, we are pleased to announce the first line-up of retailers coming to the neighborhood. With over 18,000 square feet of open space for community use along with modern residences and exciting retail concepts, West Falls will serve as a dynamic destination and vibrant community in the heart of West Falls Church. Each of these new businesses will bring something unique to the neighborhood, and we look forward to sharing more additions to this community in the near future,” said Shawn Seaman, President of Hoffman & Associates.
