“Prince William County is an amazing place to work and live, but it faces a significant shortage of flex/tech buildings, limiting its ability to attract and retain growing companies, which fuel job creation, diversify the tax base, and bolster the regional economy,” St. John Properties said. “We look forward to bringing our decades of experience and locally based/vertically integrated approach to make this project a success for all stakeholders.”
“This transaction is about more than just parcels of land,” Prince William County Department of Economic Development and Tourism stated. “It reflects our intentional approach to creating opportunities for companies to expand locally, invest with confidence, and remain in Prince William County as they grow.”
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved the sale of two county-owned parcels totaling 13.2 acres in Innovation Park, Manassas, for just over $4 million. St. John Properties plans to develop about 100,000 square feet of flex/tech space representing a $20.2 million investment, with future tenants expected to employ 200 to 300 people in life sciences, defense technology, and semiconductor sectors. The project aligns with the county’s broader Innovation District strategy, anchored by assets such as George Mason University’s SciTech Campus and the Manassas Regional Airport.
