Pan Am Shopping Center in Merrifield is getting a new name to go with its modernizing look.
The 228,000-square-foot, Safeway-anchored shopping center will now be called Providence Place, a nod to its location within Fairfax County’s Providence District, Federal Realty Investment Trust, the property owner, announced today (Monday).
After a six-month renovation, the gourmet grocery store, known for its prepared dishes, fresh seafood and locally sourced meats, hosted a grand re-opening ceremony last Friday (Sept. 13) to showcase the extensive remodel.

A pair of buildings in Reston’s Campus Commons office park may soon get a facelift, including a less common upgrade for office spaces: pickleball.
TF Cornerstone, the property owner of 1900 and 1902 Campus Commons Drive, has asked Fairfax County to determine whether proposed amenity upgrades conform to the conditions of the existing development.
The building — which is nearing the end of its life — underwent critical renovations throughout the summer, including ADA improvements for the main public restrooms, upgrades for all lighting fixtures, replacement of carpet in key areas, updates to public meeting rooms, and general paint, cleaning and blind repairs.

The renovations at Reston’s Glade Tennis Courts, which were initially damaged by a storm in 2018, are nearing completion and expected to wrap up by Labor Day weekend.

Choosing the right remodeler can make all the difference in achieving your dream design within your budget and timeline. Design-build firms are revolutionizing the construction industry with a comprehensive approach, offering both design and construction services “under one roof”.
In this blog, we explore the key benefits of choosing a design-build method for renovating your home.
1. Cost Savings
One of the major advantages of a design-build approach is the potential for cost savings. By fostering close collaboration between design and construction teams, clients benefit from unified project management, avoid costly re-work and change orders, and experience a more thoughtful and cost-effective renovation. It really pays (less) to have everyone working together!
