Jamestown LP is beginning a $140 million renovation of the Stafford Place complex upon the National Science Foundation's departure from their Ballston headquarters. Jamestown plans on using the renovations to create a welcoming environment for multiple companies, starting with switching the name of the complex to Ballston Exchange and abandoning the "single-tenant Fortress-like" make up of the buildings. The renovations will feature major improvements to common spaces with the 12-story central atrium becoming a dynamic multilevel public space for tenants and the neighborhood to enjoy. Jamestown will add new retail and food concepts as well as create a plaza between the two buildings that will provide outdoor public seating and lively storefronts. Renovations are set for completion towards the end of 2018.
