Fried Companies, Inc. (FCI)'s latest commercial endeavor is the Rapidan Center project located on Route 29 in Greene County just north of Charlottesville, Virginia.

This true mixed-use commercial project is positioned to serve the fast growing northern region of the Charlottesville market.

This project is zoned, on grade with Route 29 with 1,800 feet of frontage. The off-site improvements are designed and waiting for permits. All of the utilities are on-site including, public water and sewer, electricity, phone and fiber optics. Storm water management facilities are in place.

This project is ready for development and will be a prime location for office and retail users.

Innovation is a hallmark of FCI's office development. Skepticism greeted our plans to develop a first-rate office park in Springfield, away from the more urban office centers of Fairfax County. But we wanted to meet the needs of employees and create a place where people could live and work in the same community. So at Metro Park, we transformed an industrial district into a first-class office park with access to mass transit and emerging residential communities, providing thousands of employees with a wonderful place to work.

FCI has developed more than a dozen successful retail centers. These include community centers, with neighborhood-based tenants, as well as "power centers", anchored by major national retailers. Our goal is always to bring localities the kinds of shopping centers they want. When a moderate-income area in Northern Virginia needed more retail services, we developed a first-rate shopping center, built in a public-private partnership. In response to community demand elsewhere, we brought Virginia its first Target and Best Buy stores. As property managers, we work diligently to ensure the success and satisfaction of our tenants and the communities they serve.
