In 2021, the former George Mason High School in Falls Church, Virginia, reopened at a new location — though not far away — and with a new name, Meridian High School. Left behind were the vacated school and the opportunity to redevelop its 10-acre site.

Hoffman and Associates, a development company, seized the opportunity and is erecting an 11-story, 126-unit condominium building, The Oak, as part of a mixed-use project of residential, social gathering and retail space called West Falls.
