The Center for Innovative Technology will be built at the site chosen last year on the Loudoun-Fairfax County line, which the two developers who promise to donate the land will deed to the state within 60 days.
The fate of the CIT site apparently was uncertain through Monday, but CIT Director Robert H. Pry announced Tuesday that meetings held with the developers and state officials produced an agreement.
Alan I. Kay, who owns the CIT land in Fairfax, offered to deed his portion of the site to Virginia within 60 days, Pry said, and Samir F. Kawar, who owns the Loudoun portion, followed suit.
They also agreed to donated rightof-way for the road that would serve the development from Route 28, he said.
“That’s a real good development and we’ll be off and running,” Pry said. “I think things are going to move forward.”
Pry said the state is about to chose an architect for the CIT building, which he expects to cover 20,00030.000 square feet.
The state plans break ground for construction in late summer.
Developer Reveals Plan
For CIT Area
A Jordanian developer proposes to build 17 office buildings, one of them 16 stories high, containing 3.1 million square feet of space on land around the proposed Center for Innovative Technology.
Richard R.G. Hobson, attorney for Samir F. Kawar, KJS Partnership and trustee David Noursi, filed a rezoning application and conceptual development plan with Loudoun County last week for 92 acres on Route 28 at Dulles Toll Road.
Kawar, acting through trustee A. S. Ray, and Maryland developer Alan I. Kay, who owns adjacent land in Fairfax County, agreed last spring to donate more than 35 acres to the state for the CIT, which Gov. Charles S. Robb announced on May 1 will be on the Loudoun-Fairfax site.
All but one building of 200,000 square feet would be in Loudoun. Except for one 16-story building, the buildings range in size from four to eight stories high and 100,000 to 400.000 square feet.
