The Ballston-Virginia Square Partnership is a public private organization committed to promoting and enhancing the unique character of Ballston by incorporating urban sophistication into the intimacy and charm of a village. The Partnership is defined by its membership—a diverse and dynamic association of real estate professionals, corporations, and business owners, associations, and residents, who share a common interest in shaping the Ballston-Virginia Square sector. Whether you are marketing tenant prospects, interesting in acquiring up to the minute information about the Ballston-Virginia Square market, or interested in expressing your concerns to county and state political leadership, the Ballston-Virginia Square Partnership will give you formal and informal access.

The Partnership has over 200 corporate, academic, real estate, residential, association, retail and government members, all working to ensure that our community is an unqualified success. We have diverse committees focused on such issues as Urban Environment, Real Estate Marketing, Public Safety, and special events such as The Art Market, Farmers Markets, Summer Concerts in Welburn Square, Broadway in Ballston, Holiday Tree Lighting, the Taste of Arlington, Arlington Real Estate Showcase, Mid-Atlantic Shamrock Festival, and Blocktoberfest. In addition, the Ballston Partnership strives to resolve basic constituent concerns such as the implementation of a county Public Art Master Plan, a corridor-wide urban walkway, and the integration of new office and residential members. 

The initiatives of the Partnership and its committees directly influence the bottom line. Business and residential constituents enjoy the opportunity of creating the environment in which they live, learn, shop, work and play.
