Lake Anne Condo Association Invites Visitors To See Restoration Work

The following is a letter submitted by the Lake Anne Condominium Association.

The Lake Anne Condominium Association is excited to announce a long-awaited restoration project of our beloved Heron House.

In addition to this restoration project of over $700,000, and the dozens of repairs to individual units, our historic property saw many visible improvements this year to include:

• 3 newly paved and painted parking lots
• Pressure washing of the underside of balconies overhanging our businesses
• Newly landscaped entrance to the property
• New boilers and water heaters throughout the property
• Waterproofing multiple planter areas and covering with new decking materials

Our historic property is loved by many in the Reston community, and we are committed to ensuring its long-term viability while honoring its historic significance.

Visitors will soon see a newly landscaped area at the entrance of our property. The design was carefully planned to protect the large trees, while leveling our plaza bricks for safe passage by visitors.

We are especially excited about repairing the concrete fountain on the plaza, designed by James Rossant—the principal architect of Lake Anne Village Center (1966). The fountain has been on-and-off for years, and we are determined to find a permanent fix.

The Lake Anne and Washington Plaza Merchants Association held free Thursday night concerts this Summer, a Jazz Festival, and organized an expanded Saturday morning craft market, providing over $15,000 in rental fees to our association for the first time in over 20 years! Never before did the association receive rental fees despite incurring the expense.

Thank you to all of our community partners who chose our plaza this past year to hold events and pay rental fees; offsetting the expense of wear and tear, trash removal, and insurance costs allowing us the opportunity to put money back into our restoring our cherished historic property.
