Holliday Fenoglio Fowler (HFF) announced $115.4 million in construction financing and preferred equity Wednesday for a 551,000-square-foot, mixed-use residential and retail development in Fairfax.

The project by developer Combined Properties Inc. would be known as Scout on the Circle. It would include three buildings: a 54,000-square-foot, single-story grocery store with frontage on Fairfax Boulevard/Route 50 and Blake Lane/Route 655 along with two five-story luxury apartment buildings. The 400 units would be built above ground-floor retail of about 29,000 square feet.

The property will be located a mile from the Vienna Metro station, 3.6 miles from George Mason University campus and about 20 miles from Washington, D.C.

In addition to the retail component and transit-oriented location, apartment amenities would include a lobby lounge with coffee bar, business center, clubroom with fireplace, fitness center and outdoor dog park. The community also will offer two outdoor courtyards with a swimming pool, grilling areas, fire pits, outdoor dining areas and an outdoor ping-pong table. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2021.

The HFF team representing Combined Properties included Susan Carras, Walter Coker, Brian Crivella, John Owendoff and Jordan Lex.
