The developers of the site, Digital Park LLC, have long intended to charge the name of Park Place at The Station, a proposed mixed-use development.
A planned, mixed-use development on Manassas Drive and Railroad Drive in Manassas Park now has a new name. The development known as Park Place at The Station is now called The Palisades, Vanessa Watson, Manassas Park Planning and Zoning director, said. Watson said in a previous report that developers of the project, Digital Park LLC, did intend to change the name of development to one that does not include the words, “park,” “place” or “station.” The developers of The Palisades haven’t started preparing the site for construction yet, as the site is still being reviewed by the city, she said.
