Rappaport Press Release

Henry Fonvielle to Speak at Bisnow's Retail Revolution

Leesburg, Virginia

8/27/2015

Leesburg, VA -- Rappaport President Henry Fonvielle will be featured on an expert panel at the Bisnow Loudoun County Boom Retail Revolution event at 3pm on Thursday, August 27 2015. The event will take place at Smokehouse Live at Village at Leesburg, where Rappaport provides property management, marketing, asset management and leasing strategy services.

Smokehouse Live, a 16,000 square-foot BBQ and live music venue, is a recent addition to the Loudoun County center that has seen tremendous growth in the last 18 months. During this time Village at Leesburg leased more than 80,000 SF of space across multiple categories including dining. BonChon, Rita’s and Under the Olive Tree’s Tapas Bar are now open, and Plaza Azteca will open their new location next to near ULTA and BurgerFi on Village Market Boulevard in September.

“The way people eat is shifting.” says Fonvielle “The restaurant boom in Loudoun County is being driven by people wanting more authentic food and having the time, energy and money to seek it out. Millennials are not eating traditional fast food; they are being much more selective seeking out fresh and healthy options.”

Fonvielle will discuss more trends and forecasts for the Loudoun County retail market and will be joined by Taylor Chess, President of Peterson Companies, Devin Corini, Vice President of Regency Centers and Jonathan Hipp, CEO of Calkain Companies among other professionals. The event will feature panel dialogue about the evolution and the future of Loudoun County, networking and the highly acclaimed BBQ prepared by Smokehouse Live. Tickets are available through Bisnow’s website at www.bisnow.com.
