Overlook at Fairfax Boulevard will feature a mix of 60 four-level townhomes with rooftop patios and two-level condos. Townhome units will be available for purchase from the $900,000s, with the condos priced from the $700,000s, according to BusinessWire.

Fairfax City officials first considered Pulte's plans to redevelop the 4.63 acre parcel that contained the 50-room motel, located at 10829 Fairfax Blvd.; the 38-unit Fairfax Garden Apartments on Cedar Avenue; and four single-family homes on Oak and Walnuts streets in 2018.

During the review process, members of the public expressed concerns about the loss of affordable housing with the demolition of the Breezeway Motel and the Fairfax Garden Apartments.
