The owners of an Alexandria Goddard School, an early childhood learning franchise, plan to open a second location in the city in a 20,000-square-foot building that started out as a roller-skating rink and was later home to a laser tag arena.
The private preschool will take up 75% of the building at 5508 Franconia Road and the remainder will be home to a SafeSplash Swim School, according to a Wednesday announcement by KLNB, an independent brokerage with headquarters in Washington D.C.
The location will accommodate up to 180 students, the news release stated. The owners plan interior and landscaping renovations.
Jain Properties, a Springfield entity, paid $6 million on Feb. 19 for the property, according to Fairfax County Property records.
Since 2005, the building, which was built in 1972, had been home to ShadowLand Laser Adventures, an arcade and laser tag operation. It sits on 1.8 acres.
The seller was represented by Marc Tasker, Vito Lupo, Steve Combs and Jack Regler of KLNB. Bryan Ramos of Washington-D.C.,-based Retail22 CRE Advisors represented the buyer.
Nationally, there are more than 640 Goddard Schools.
