Owner-User Childcare Center & Preschool

Highlights

Description

Rare opportunity to acquire or lease a purpose-built childcare and early education facility in the heart of Sterling, Virginia—one of Loudoun County’s most established, family-dense submarkets. This 7,365 SF single-story building sits on ±0.85 acres and was previously operated as a licensed childcare center, offering a true plug-and-play solution for operators or a compelling long-term investment for buyers seeking necessity-based real estate.

The building is thoughtfully designed for early education use, featuring multiple oversized classrooms, administrative offices, kitchen/cafeteria space, storage, and child-scaled restrooms. The efficient floor plan supports a wide range of operating models, from traditional preschool and daycare to Montessori, private elementary, or specialty education concepts. The property previously held a licensed capacity of approximately 200 children, significantly reducing entitlement risk and time-to-opening for a new operator

A major differentiator is the fully fenced and improved outdoor playground, an increasingly scarce and valuable feature in Loudoun County. Combined with surface parking, convenient parent drop-off circulation, and single-tenant visibility, the site checks the core boxes operators prioritize when evaluating new locations.

Strategically located just minutes from Route 28, Route 7, and Dulles International Airport, the property benefits from strong commuter traffic, surrounding residential density, and proximity to major employment centers. The immediate trade area is characterized by above-average household incomes, strong population growth, and sustained demand for childcare services, supporting both enrollment stability and long-term real estate value.

Zoned PDH-3, the property allows for childcare and educational use and has a proven operating history. Whether repositioned for an owner-operator seeking long-term control of real estate, leased to a regional or national childcare brand, or stabilized and held as a cash-flowing investment, 211 Edds Lane offers flexibility, certainty, and durable fundamentals in a supply-constrained Northern Virginia market.
