Clifton Childcare Center - Owner User

This is a rare opportunity to lease a purpose-built nursery school and early education facility located at 6000 Union Mill Road in the heart of Clifton, Virginia. Situated in one of Fairfax County’s most established and affluent residential submarkets, this ±6,162 SF single-story building offers a true plug-and-play solution for childcare operators seeking to expand into a high-demand area. The property has a proven operating history as a licensed educational center, which significantly reduces the time-to-opening and technical risks for a new tenant.

Currently licensed for 140 children, the facility is thoughtfully designed for early education, featuring a functional floor plan that includes dedicated classroom spaces, administrative areas, and essential support infrastructure. The building sits on a spacious ±0.99 Acre acre lot, providing ample room for outdoor activities and efficient parent drop-off and pick-up circulation. Zoned PDH-4, the site is specifically designated for nursery school use, making it a "core-box" location for regional or national brands looking for immediate market entry.

Located within the family-dense Little Rocky Run community, the property benefits from exceptional surrounding demographics, including above-average household incomes and a high concentration of dual-income professional households. Its proximity to major transit arteries like Route 28 and Braddock Road ensures convenient access for commuting parents throughout the Northern Virginia region. This facility offers a durable opportunity to capture sustained demand in a supply-constrained market where specialized educational assets are increasingly scarce.

The subject property is strategically positioned in the Southwestern quadrant of Fairfax County, specifically within the Route 28 Corridor South submarket. This location is characterized by a mature suburban landscape that balances high-density residential developments with critical transit corridors. The property’s address at 6000 Union Mill Road, Clifton, VA 20124, places it at the heart of the Springfield District, an area known for its high barriers to entry and strong household demographics.

Submarket Dynamics: Route 28 Corridor South
The Route 28 Corridor South is a vital component of the Dulles Corridor cluster. While the broader Northern Virginia market has faced headwinds in the office sector during the 2024–2025 period, the Route 28 South submarket has exhibited localized pockets of strength. For instance, in late 2025, the submarket recorded positive net absorption of over 100,000 square feet, buoyed by significant move-ins from government and corporate entities such as the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and Dell/Sequoia. For a childcare asset, this proximity to high-volume employment centers is a primary value driver, as it ensures a consistent daytime population of working parents who prioritize "on-the-way" childcare solutions.

Transportation and Accessibility
The property’s physical location is exceptionally favorable for vehicular commuters. It holds a "Car Friendly" score of 100, signifying its seamless integration into the local road network. The site is approximately 0.17 miles from the intersection of Union Mill Road and New Braddock Road, two thoroughfares that carry significant daily traffic. Furthermore, the proximity to Interstate 66 (I-66) provides a direct link to the 66 Express Outside the Beltway, a dynamically tolled express lane system that facilitates rapid travel between the suburban fringe and the core employment hubs of Arlington and Washington, D.C.
