Today, Hoffman & Associates announced the first public details about its West Falls condominium, The Oak. Located at 255 West Falls Station Boulevard in the northwest corner of the West Falls neighborhood, the 174,000-square-foot, 11-story building will offer 126 elevated condominium residences, along with inviting amenities and curated retail, as well as community, arts and civic space. The Oak will provide residents with modern, welcoming spaces filled with natural elements, connection to the dynamic West Falls community and the convenience of a location with unparalleled connectivity to the region.
Living at The Oak, residents will have convenient access to all the neighborhood offers, including boutique shops, curated services and a range of dining options. Recently announced retailers coming to West Falls include regional favorites Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls, fast-casual burger concept BurgerFi, Korean comfort food quick service restaurant SEOULSPICE and the early education and preschool program Tierra Encantada.

One of the key characteristics that sets The Oak apart is the incredible connectivity that its location in the West Falls neighborhood provides. This pedestrian-friendly area offers convenient access to bike paths, the West Falls Church Metrorail Station and Tysons Corner. Additionally, The Oak provides close proximity and easy accessibility to major transportation hubs and key connectors in the DMV region, including Leesburg Pike (Route 7), Interstate 495 and Route 66, as well as Dulles International Airport and Reagan National Airport. West Falls is the first component of a larger 40-acre community-focused development of the area between Leesburg Pike and the West Falls Church Metrorail Station.
“Our team at Hoffman & Associates is proud to lead the West Falls project, the largest development in the history of Falls Church, that will have a lasting positive impact on the community, the City of Falls Church and the region as a whole. The Oak is a core part of the vision for West Falls, offering residents the opportunity to call this neighborhood home and experience a lifestyle as vibrant as its community, with access to all of the exciting restaurants and retailers we’ve already announced, with more to come, as well as an expansive outdoor community gathering space. We look forward to welcoming residents to this modern, new condominium and taking the next step in building the future West Falls community,” said Shawn Seaman, President of Hoffman & Associates.
Designed by SK+I Architecture, The Oak creates warm and inviting spaces featuring modern design with natural elements and sophisticated finishes. The one, two and three-bedroom including penthouse residences provide open layouts with generous living and bedroom areas, spacious kitchens with islands, two-tone European-inspired frameless cabinetry, Porcelanosa wide-plank wood-style flooring, well-appointed bathrooms with porcelain and quartz finishes and hotel-style vanity mirrors with backlighting. Expansive windows throughout the residences provide an abundance of natural light, while most residences feature terraces or balconies that create a connection to the outdoors. The Oak is also designed to achieve LEED Gold certification with a focus on green living standards, including LED light fixtures, ENERGY STAR® appliances, integrated green roofs and bioretention areas.
“The Oak seamlessly blends sophisticated natural elements and modern design, creating warm, welcoming spaces. As the newest condominium in the city of Falls Church, these residences offer a unique opportunity to live in the vibrancy of the West Falls neighborhood in a dynamic city and come home to inspired design and inviting amenity spaces,” said Michelle Giannini, Principal Broker for Hoffman Realty and Executive Vice President of Multifamily and Brand at Hoffman & Associates. “This condominium is truly unique, and we look forward to welcoming future residents to discover all that The Oak has to offer.”
