HAYMARKET, Va. – Town leaders are weighing a major redevelopment proposal that could transform the historic property at 14600 Washington Street—the former Gainesville District School building later used by PACE West—into a new residential and commercial enclave.
The concept, presented by Greystone Companies during a May 27 Town Council work session, outlines a plan to build up to 62 townhomes alongside a scaled-back commercial footprint. The 4.9-acre site is currently zoned B1 (General Commercial) and houses several businesses, including Phoenix Hospitality’s Ghosted Concepts, federal contractor QBE, and the Haymarket Islamic Center, which received approval in April 2025 to establish a permanent place of worship there.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. – Prince William County Supervisors on Tuesday night approved a plan to rezone more than 60 acres of the Manassas Mall property, clearing the way for more than 1,000 new apartments, commercial storefronts, and pedestrian promenades to replace large areas of underused parking lots.
The unanimous vote allows Lionheart Capital, a Miami-based developer, to transform the site into a walkable, transit-oriented community — a project several board members described as a long-awaited catalyst for revitalization.
