“The Field at Commonwealth is going to transform the Chantilly and Westfields area into a vibrant retail corridor in Northern Virginia,” said Devin Corini, Vice President of Investments for Regency Centers. “The importance of bringing the dominant gourmet grocer in the Washington, D.C. market to the project cannot be overstated.

Commensurate with Regency’s nationally recognized sustainability efforts, The Field at Commonwealth will seek LEED Certification by capitalizing on its semi-urban infill location, with a combination of high-performance building design and environmentally friendly construction practices.
