New vision for Belmont Bay swaps planned hotel rooms for homes, boardwalk 

A "reimagined" Belmont Bay neighborhood is proposed for North Woodbridge, marking the latest development in the storied mixed-use district that, for the past 20 years, has failed to achieve its grand vision.

The Caruthers Companies, the Belmont Bay developer, filed an application with the Prince William County Government to rezone 170 acres of land at the secluded neighborhood of townhomes and condos, located at the confluence of the Potomac and Occoquan rivers in Woodbridge. The developer hopes to build what it calls the $550 million final phase of development on the land Caruthers acquired in 1960.

At the center of the project is the Beacon building, a newly-built community center to replace the existing harbor master budling at the development's marina on the Occoquan River. A restaurant or food hall would be located inside the building, and an exterior patio would provide a place for both residents and the public to gather for open-air, waterfront views.
