Fair Oaks Mall

Fair Oaks Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Fairfax, Virginia. It is located at the intersection of Interstate 66 and U.S. Route 50. The mall has a gross leasable area (GLA) of 1,565,000 sq ft (145,400 m²). Its anchor stores are J. C. Penney, Lord & Taylor, two Macy's, and Sears.

In August 2007 it was announced by Taubman Centers that preliminary plans were in the works to expand the mall by 34%.

History

Fair Oaks Mall officially opened on July 31, 1980. The 1,400,000-square-foot (130,000 m²) mall, developed by the Taubman Company, opened in the midst of a recession, with only four of six anchor stores in operation (Hecht's, JCPenney, Sears, and Woodward & Lothrop) and 15 other storefronts occupied, leaving three fourths of the storefronts empty. The two remaining anchors opened shortly after: Garfinckel's on August 21, 1980, and Lord & Taylor in spring 1981. Developers expected 60 to be occupied by the Christmas season and 100 by the following year. Upon opening, it was the largest mall in the Washington, D.C., area. It included the first suburban Washington location of the British homegoods store Conran's.

Fair Oaks (Aldie, Virginia)

Fair Oaks is a historic farmstead at 23718 New Mountain Rd. in Loudoun County, Virginia, near the village of Aldie. The 2.5 story wood frame Italianate style house was built in 1881 by Alexander Moore, whose family operated the Aldie Mill for many years. The most prominent exterior decorative feature is the front porch, which features a delicately scroll-sawn balustrade and decorative brackets. Most of its interior woodwork has been preserved. The farmstead includes three other buildings dating to the same period, as well as the 1844 Moore family cemetery.

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
