The Reserve at Falls Church will feature 215 luxury apartments, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, located in the highly anticipated West Falls mixed-use neighborhood.
NexCore Group, a privately-owned diversified healthcare real estate development, investment, and management company with a national footprint spanning 29 states, and its vertically-integrated senior housing operator, Experience Senior Living (ESL), proudly announce the start of construction of The Reserve at Falls Church, located in the West Falls neighborhood. The new 15-story community features 215 elegantly appointed homes, including a one-of-a-kind penthouse level. This community is the eighteenth senior living development for NexCore and ESL and the second development in The Reserve Collection, the company’s luxury line of senior communities.
“Breaking ground on The Reserve at Falls Church reflects NexCore’s steadfast belief in the future of senior living. As today’s aging demographic continues to grow, we are focused on developing communities that meet their evolving needs, offering modern spaces that foster independence and connection. We are driven by the opportunity to create meaningful, purpose-driven environments that enrich the lives of those who call them home.” Stated Jarrod Daddis, President of NexCore Group.
NexCore partnered with an affiliate of Nuveen Real Estate to capitalize the project. This is the third ground-up senior living development project on which both companies have collaborated. “The Reserve at Falls Church aligns with Nuveen’s focus for developing state-of-the-art senior living communities for the next generation of seniors in high-barrier-to-entry submarkets like Falls Church,” noted Andrew Pyke, Head of Healthcare Real Estate at Nuveen. “We are excited to partner again with a first-class developer in NexCore and an operator in ESL to bring this project to the greater DC community.”
The Reserve at Falls Church offers an unparalleled host of high-end amenities for residents. Dining options will feature certified organic ingredients and will be available from multiple restaurants within the community, including a chophouse, a seafood restaurant, oyster bar and cocktail lounge. Other amenities include an indoor saltwater pool and spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, and an expansive maker space designed for creative expression and life-long learning. The community will also offer concierge services, valet parking, and electric vehicle transportation options.
“We’re excited to bring The Reserve at Falls Church to life and are thrilled to be able to offer our award-winning continuum of care, allowing residents of Falls Church to remain close to their friends and family and enjoy the lifestyle they’ve grown accustomed to,” said Phill Barklow, President of Experience Senior Living. “The Reserve is the pinnacle of luxury among senior communities and offers more than just a place to live—it’s a community of connection and purpose where residents can enjoy elevated living, unparalleled care, and a deep sense of connection to their community.”
The Reserve at Falls Church seamlessly integrates into West Falls, a multiphase, mixed-use, transit-oriented neighborhood. Spanning 1.2 million SF across nearly 10 acres of land, West Falls is the largest development in the city’s history. West Falls serves as a gateway to the city and a vibrant gathering place for all, featuring modern residences at The Oak and The Alder, curated retail and dining, Home2 Suites by Hilton, The Wellness Center, a medical office building, and The Commons, the neighborhood’s central outdoor gathering space. Hoffman & Associates, the master developer of West Falls, is a nationally recognized leader in both residential and mixed-use development across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
The Reserve at Falls Church, expected to open in the spring of 2027, is NexCore’s second senior living development in Virginia and expands ESL’s operating presence in the state.
