Top Local Development Projects Win Urban Land Institute Awards BY PATRICIA LESLIE
FALLS CHURCH NEWS-PRESS
Transit-friendly measures which promote mobility and walkability, sustainability, community and culture, and “celebrate visionary thinking,” were some of the criteria judges used to determine the winners of this year’s real estate Trends Awards announced at the annual conference of the Urban Land Institute Washington District Council. Winners were Market Square, Atlantic Plumbing, the Monroe Street Market, the Foggy Bottom Campus Plan, Georgetown University’s School of Continuing Studies and the NPR building on
North Capitol Street which is a few blocks behind Union Station. Also, Sheridan Station in Anacostia won the Juror’s Choice Award for its “passion and commitment to bringing high quality and environmentally sustainable affordable housing to our area.” The residential complex has a green roof, a residents’ business center, a fitness center, community meeting spaces and, in its units, Energy Star appliances. Across the street from the U.S. National Archives on Pennsylvania Avenue are the two Market Square properties which form an arc around the U.S. Navy Memorial. Market Square won the Legacy Award for “transformational
impact on its community.” Nelson Mills, president and CEO of Columbia Property Trust, the property owner, called Market Square “the gold standard of D.C. office space,” which has recently enjoyed two years of “dramatic renovations” to maintain its reputation as “the premier destination for high-profile corporate tenants on ‘America’s Main Street.’” Said Chris Roth, president of Eastern Operations for Trammell Crow which developed the property 29 years ago: “We were determined to deliver a quality development meant to stand the test of time” and the “Legacy Award has

confirmed that we have done so.” Winning the Housing Development Award for apartments and retail development was Atlantic Plumbing located at 2112 Eighth and V streets, N.W., next door to the 9:30 Club in the north end of the Shaw neighborhood, a project which helped upgrade U Street. Bryan Moll, one of the principals at developer JBG, believes Atlantic Plumbing’s “iconic design,” steel exoskeleton, and “robust finish” with its combination of retail and other amenities, enabled it to beat the competition. The Excellence in MixedUse Development Award went to Monroe Street Market which sits on five blocks at the BrooklandCatholic University Metro station, three miles from the U.S. Capitol. In addition to its 718 residences and 45 townhomes, it has 15,000 square feet of art studio space, a 3,000 square foot community arts center and 83,000 square feet of retail space. Mike Henehan is the vice-president of Bozzuto
Development Company, who wrote: “We worked closely with the surrounding community to create a project that complements the area, while making it a better place to live.” And for artists and residents to meet and exchange and explore. The Foggy Bottom Campus Plan won the Impact Award for “initiative that represents great promise and forward thinking” in its land use. Georgetown’s Continuing Studies won the Institutional Development award, and the NPR building won for office development. Paul Angelone, the manager of ULI Washington, said this is the second year for the Trends Awards. Applicants are self-nominated and had to complete a detailed, eight-paged questionnaire describing property structure, marketing, community impact, financing, and reasons for a project to win its category. And pay a $250 fee. All properties had to be completed in 2013, 2014 or 2015 with the exception of the Legacy Award which goes to projects up for more than 20 years. Three Northern Virginia properties won last year: the Easter
Seals Child Development Center in Falls Church, Arlington Mill Community Senior Center and Residences, and Reston’s Town Center Urban Core. This year’s 11 judges included designers, architects, government officials, art consultants, developers, investment, financiers, and urban planners “with lots of experience,” Angelone said. One of them was Barbara Byron, the director of the Fairfax County Office of Revitalization, who praised the strong nominees, two finalists which came from Northern Virginia: Tysons Corner Center and the wellknown (to Tysons’ residents and employees) Silverline Center Building landmark with its colored, changing lights (sometimes to match the season) which hang in rows on all four sides of the building from top to almost bottom, and can be seen from far away. As a judge, “I got to see them all,” Byron said, finding the competing designs “inspirational for my own work. I got a lot back” by participating, she said. “I hope more Northern Virginia properties compete next year.”

The jury foreman, Bryce A. Turner, an architect, called ULI Washington’s 2016 submissions “the best development trends occurring in the DC region and the country,” requiring “painstaking review and heartfelt deliberation” by the judges as they focused on innovative building
solutions for education, renovation, affordable housing, and master planning. ULI’s mission is “to provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide.” The Washington District Council has almost 2,000 members.

Greenspur Opens Space Dedicated to Design & Development BY MATT DELANEY
FALLS CHURCH NEWS-PRESS
Nestled in an office overlooking W. Broad Street is the new headquarters of GreenSpur, Inc, a burgeoning architecture firm whose holistic approach helps them stand out from the crowd. Most architectural firms “stay in their lane” by focusing solely on designing buildings while a separate company carries out their construction process. GreenSpur creates and develops all of their projects, ensuring that the end result represents the company’s zeal for appeal and sustainability but also exceeds the bottom line. “We’re really interested in seeing things get built,” director of design Zach Gasper said. “Having that responsibility and seeing a project through from start to finish … in the long run, is a huge benefit to our clients because we have their financial needs [in mind].” “You gotta be compelling, but you also gotta be profitable,” founder and owner Mark Turner added. “There are a lot of great architecture firms out there with a lot of great designs that never get built because there’s not a
connection between the reality of building something – [the] cost and logistics of it – and doing a pretty picture on paper.” So far so good, as past clients have been treated to ecological and aesthetic delights. With individual properties such as the Night Watchman’s house or the Floating Cabin to large-scale undertakings like the Black Apple pocket community in Bentonville, Arkansas, GreenSpur has consistently delivered its own unique brand of architecture. When it came to designing the office, GreenSpur approached the task like any other project. Working within a budget was as important as creating a space that reflected the company’s character, which is why a bar area offering coffee and whiskey (yes, you read that right) can be enjoyed knowing it wasn’t a trade-off for a decent salary. Although what subtly defines GreenSpur’s new home and its work is a commitment to rustic features and evoking the natural beauty in symmetry. “While all of our projects are relatively modern, they have a heartstring on historical qualities,”
GREENSPUR’S OWNER/FOUNDER MARK TURNER and the company’s director of design Zach Gasper stand behind the bar in the company’s of�ice on W. Broad Street. Gasper said that the company seeing projects through from start to �inish is a bene�it to their clients. (P����: C������� �� B����� C����) Turner said. “So there’s a healthy tension between historical precedence and a new, fresh look at things.” “One of our trademarks is sym-
metry,” Turner continued. “Most great architecture around the world has a level of symmetry to it. There’s a whole science [behind] facial recognition and
what’s considered beautiful, and if things [aren’t] symmetrical to a human we’re very perceptive. Setting the bar high for competing design and development

companies would satisfy most people, but Turner and his team are also challenging the traditional workplace culture we’ve come to accept. Traditional being the strict expectations on dress, the drudgery of a commute and the fluorescent-soaked isolation of a cubicle, all of which can turn a 9-5 routine into a rather miserable experience. Known as “conscious business,” it’s the practice of maintaining homeostasis between employer, employee and the environment, and it has become a progressive corporate model. Examples you see every day are Costco Wholesale and Whole Foods Market. However, reimagining our typical idea of an office is just one aspect of a conscious business. Another major part is creating a business for more than the sake of profit, but to actually provide a positive impression on its consumers. “When we do our buildings we try to focus in on three criteria [more or less]:having a connection to nature, simplicity and meaning,” Turner said. “We really focus in on simplicity and scale because the trend is going away from complexity and big spaces. Having a site location that connects the occupants with natural surroundings [and] to others is all really important to infuse

meaning into a person’s life.” It’s clear the Little City is fortunate to have such talented tenants, but at the same time it asks the question: Why did they choose Falls Church? The answer, just like everything else about GreenSpur, revolves around honing in on a bond. This time it’s shared between the city and the company. “Falls Church is very unique and it’s got a lot of the same principles GreenSpur embodies,” Turner said. “It’s a small town in a big city, a really rich diversity, and great schools. There’s a real sense of community in Falls Church that we’re trying to incorporate in our corporate philosophy.” Locals have taken notice of GreenSpur’s innovative projects with good reason, but some wish the company would make exceptions to its business practice for those residing in the 22046. To that, Turner says no chance – his office serves as a constant reminder to city residents that reviving the past will always be what GreenSpur is about. “We’re getting a lot of development pressure in Falls Church to do big-scale stuff, which sometimes takes away from the character,” Turner said. “We use an old building on Broad Street that has its character and keeps the patina

S���� H��������, M�E������� I have lived and worked in Falls Church City for 25 years. My three kids went through the entire school system from Mt. Daniel to GMHS. After “retiring” from being an attorney, I was the consummate PTA mom, running fundraising for many years, a co-founder of the Falls Church Education Foundation, owner of Stacy’s Coffee Parlor, Chamber of Commerce Director and still active in many organizations and a current Board member of Homestretch. My real estate focus is Falls Church City...with half my clients buyers and the other half sellers. I think it is imperative to have a local expert who can tell you about the schools, the new Harris Teeter and other developments. When you sell a home, you sell a community. Don’t leave that to someone who doesn’t know it well or will hand it off to an associate who doesn’t. When working with buyers, I scour the streets and reach out to those I know who are thinking of moving. I truly love what I do and have received all the top producer and magazine awards..but more importantly, am always happy to see my past clients at the store...(even when I am in my sweats!)

A Falls Church Realtor and resident, Colin has specialized in residential real estate throughout Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. since 2007. With eight previous years of experience as a Graphic Designer and in a leadership role in 4 and 5 Star hotel environments, Colin brought a firm grasp on high level proactive client care, and an understanding of design and aesthetics. These skills have only improved through time and experience preparing homes, and marketing to generate the best results possible for homeowners. In a time when many homes sell in the first or second weekend it can be tempting to sit back and allow the market to do most of the work. It is Colin’s belief that, even in this environment, a carefully prepared home, a carefully crafted marketing plan, and a hands on marketing launch can still make a notable difference to a home seller’s bottom line. As marketing best practices have changed over the years, Colin has tracked with these changes, adding a higher quality of photos & videos for selling clients and adapting online marketing approaches accordingly. EcoBroker® certified, Colin is passionate about the “Green Home” & energy efficiency movement. He also looks forward to doing more volunteering in “The Little City” with his wife and 4 kids… once the kids get a bit older! Keep an eye out for Colin and his crew around town, they’ll be the convoy of scooters and tricycles. Please do say hello!
