Project Tour
Benchmark at Alexandria
Repurposing Office to Senior Living
Tuesday, April 22
Program
NAIOP is dedicated to highlighting successful development product types throughout the Northern Virginia market. Join us on April 22 for a project tour and lunch at Orr Partners' Benchmark at Alexandria. Benchmark at Alexandria is a 115 unit assisted living facility located in the West Alex development in Alexandria, a mixed-use development featuring multiple multifamily buildings, offices, and over 100,000SF of retail anchored by Harris Teeter.
This parcel was originally approved as a seven-story office building with ground floor retail. Benchmark Senior Living and Orr Partners acquired the site and obtained approval to pivot to a ten-story senior living building to address evolving market demands for senior housing. The building change called for three additional stories, allowing the development team to create an urban-style assisted living and memory care community that consists of 89 assisted living units and 26 memory cares units. This building is the final addition to the larger West Alex development.

Lunch with … Prince William County Chair Deshundra Jefferson
Thursday, April 24
Program
On April 24, NAIOP Northern Virginia will host a Lunch with … Prince William County Chair Deshundra Jefferson. She has now served in this position for over a year and is completing her second budget cycle. Her election as Chair coincided with the elections of three additional new members of the Board. Her time in office has been busy due to important topics such as a Comprehensive Plan Update, data centers, and now the start of a Zoning Ordinance rewrite
Chair Jefferson often refers to Prince William as "a hidden gem," thanks to its proximity to the nation’s capital, strong school system, and cultural diversity. She ran for office to address the rising cost of living, prioritize education in the county’s budget, and create more opportunities for affordable homeownership. Early in her career as a reporter, Chair Jefferson wrote for CNN/Money (now CNN/Business), the Associated Press, New York Magazine, and other major news outlets. She graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in political science from Columbia University and a master’s degree in communication from Johns Hopkins University.
We look forward to hearing from Chair Jefferson about her experience the past year and her plans for the county in the coming years.
As always, our Lunch with ... programs are for NAIOP members only.
