Landing at Cannon Branch: Planned Community Moves Forward in Manassas
A groundbreaking ceremony was held earlier this week for the 40-acre tract on Gateway Drive.
MANASSAS, VA — The only waterfront community in the city is a bit closer to becoming realized, as ground was broken earlier this week on the Landing at Cannon Branch.
After years of seeking to find just right developer for the Gateway Development, the city hooked up with D.C.-based Buchanan Partners to build the planned community at Route 28 and Godwin Drive.
The 40-acre tract will include space for retail, offices, restaurants, hotels and more than 270 new homes.

According to the city, the project is "expected to generate more than $250 million in new investment, nearly $20 million in land sale proceeds for the City of Manassas, and $3 million in real estate taxes down the line.
"In addition, the new development is expected to generate jobs and tie into local businesses at the Manassas Regional Airport and Innovation Park."
