Norton Scott has pulled together a great team that brings a broad array of multidisciplinary talent and public-private partnership expertise to address this unique opportunity for the City. The members of our team have extensive experience in similar sized master planned mixed-use projects; public-private transaction structuring and implementation; at-risk construction for public institutional and commercial projects; multifamily residential development (including affordable housing); cultural and community facilities; commercial development; and tax-exempt and commercial project finance. Team members been involved with new, mixed-use development, finance and construction of projects in Northern Virginia, including the emerging Kincora development in Loudoun County which brings together regional infrastructure, cultural amenities, residential and commercial development in a 6 million square foot environmentally- balanced mixed-use project. We are particularly attracted to the City by this transit-oriented development which will bring young professionals within commuting range of Amazon’s HQ2 and other emerging employers located within the VRE corridor. The proposed residential development will increase the range of residential options in the City’s already fully-tenanted core with a “For-Sale” Two-over-Two product to be built by Toll Brothers and garden apartments to be developed by Norton Scott LLC. The development plan capitalizes on the relocation of the proposed VRE Parking Structure to a more retail proximate location on the site where it can be used to attract an entertainment anchor that will benefit by complementary use of parking. This provides a great opportunity for 3 VILLAGE AT MANASSAS PARK LLC place-making in the City core which will benefit not only the Village at Manassas Park project, but also the adjacent retail locations. We appreciate the County’s consideration of our proposal. We would welcome the opportunity to work closely with the City and community to create this very exciting new mixed-use project with public and private facilities, linking Manassas Park more closely with the greater metropolitan market. Kind regards, Mike Scott Managing Member Norton Scott LLC and Village at Manassas Park LLC 4 Village of Manassas Park Proposal of Village at Manassas Park LLC Under Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act Confidential Information and Trade Secret Protection Request for Protection of Trade Secrets or Proprietary Information Pursuant to Purchasing Resolution and Va.
