The Villages at Belvoir consists of a new urbanist mixed-use town center and three residential neighborhoods on the U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir military installation in Fairfax County, Virginia. The project is the result of a public/private venture (PPV) between the army, Clark Realty Capital, and Pinnacle, known as Fort Belvoir Residential Communities LLC. Together, the three villages and town center contain 415 dwellings and 13,613 square feet (1,265 sq m) of retail space on 74 acres (30 ha). The development is the first phase of a 50-year plan to replace 1,900 homes and renovate 170 more on the 8,656-acre (3,503-ha) post. Located within one of the three villages, the town center is a pedestrian-scale street lined with 25 residences over stores. One of the first projects to come out of the army’s Residential Communities Initiative, the Villages at Belvoir is setting a new standard for future housing developments at army posts.
