Brightview Fair Oaks

Brightview Fair Oaks is a 191,610 sf senior living community across six acres in Fairfax, VA. The four-story building includes 170 units, with 92 for independent living, 52 for assisted living, and 26 for memory care. Designed to feel like a luxury resort, the facility features a pub, a two-story great room with a grand staircase, a cascading water wall, a built-in aquarium, multiple dining venues, a commercial kitchen, art studio, hobby shop, movie theater, billiards room, hair salon, and library. Outdoor amenities include shuffleboard and bocce courts, a fireplace, pavilion, walking trails, an ornamental bridge, and a secured wellness garden with interactive features for memory care residents.

The structure uses a mix of wood frame, metal stud, and concrete to meet code and control costs, with a timber-framed entry for visual appeal. Built to achieve LEED for Homes Silver, it incorporates low VOC materials, enhanced ventilation, non-toxic pest control, and waste recycling. The building connects to surrounding sidewalks to improve walkability and replaces a former motel on a high-visibility parkway. Its craftsman-inspired design contrasts with nearby colonial-style homes, contributing to the area’s character and serving as a community focal point.
