George Mason University (“GMU” or “Mason”) has acquired the 26,482sf office building located at 3300 Fairfax Drive in Arlington’s Virginia Square neighborhood. The Fairfax-based public university paid $8,250,000 for the thirty-seven-year-old, three-story property, according to public records.

As reported in ARLnow, GMU media relations manager John Hollis has stated that “[i]n the near term, Mason expects to continue current or similar operations to the existing tenants, while longer term opportunities include potential developments in support of Mason’s faculty, students, and mission.”

George Mason University’s Arlington campus (known as Mason Square) is located across the street from 3300 Fairfax and is home to the university’s law school, the School of Policy and Government and the School for Peace and Conflict Resolution, among other programs. It is also the site for Mason’s 345,000sf development project called Fuse, which is expected to deliver in 2024.

As of Fall 2022, Mason reported a total enrollment of 39,607 students.
