Burlington Signs Lease To Open New Store At Springfield Town Center

SPRINGFIELD, VA — Burlington Stores Inc. will be opening a new store at Springfield Town Center in 2023, joining Lego Discovery Center and other new tenants at the shopping center.

PREIT, owner of Springfield Town Center, signed a lease with Burlington for a new 30,000-square-foot store at the shopping center, the company said Thursday. Burlington Stores, an off-price retailer headquartered in New Jersey, has other locations across Northern Virginia.

In 2022, more than 20,000 square feet of stores opened for operation at Springfield Town Center. The opening of Burlington and other new tenants will increase occupancy at Springfield Town Center to a 95.5 percent, PREIT said.

"We are pleased to welcome Burlington Stores to Springfield Town Center, another milestone in our mission to create a diverse tenant mix including non-traditional mall retailers," Joseph Coradino, chairman and CEO of PREIT, said in a statement.

PREIT, a publicly traded real estate investment trust, said it wants to turn Springfield Town Center into a “preeminent family entertainment destination” in the D.C. area.

“As part of this transformation, unanimous approval from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors was recently obtained for the development of 460 apartments and a 165-room hotel, paving the way for the sale of land parcels to developers,” PREIT said.

Springfield Town Center is anchored by Target, JCPenney, Macy’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Regal Cinemas.
