Business Activity Report
Office Renovation, Fitness Conversion, And Industrial Occupancy Lead Fairfax Business Activity
May 29 leaned more office, industrial, and service-oriented than restaurant-heavy. The strongest signals were Google's training-room modification in Reston, CGI's office renovation in Fair Lakes, Halo 3 Fitness change-of-use work in Chantilly, and several occupancy records for automotive, credit union, warehouse, and contractor-related uses.
