XAVO Motor Club in Ashburn: what is planned, and what is confirmed

XAVO Motor Club is a private car club and entertainment building approved for 44970 Russell Branch Parkway in Ashburn, Virginia, on a vacant parcel in the Commonwealth Center development just east of Topgolf and XCAL Shooting Sports & Fitness. Loudoun County’s Board of Supervisors approved the land-use application in January 2026. It is not built: as of 13 November 2026 the county shows no building permit, the engineering plan is still in review, and no opening date has been announced.

What is planned is a members’ motor club with private garages and car condos, a car showroom, an Italian steakhouse, a live music venue and an event hall, in a building of about 128,000 square feet. Below: what each source says, what is still unknown, and how XAVO compares with the clubs of this kind already open elsewhere.

The short version

• Where: 44970 Russell Branch Parkway, Ashburn, VA 20147, in Commonwealth Center beside Topgolf and XCAL, just south of Route 7.
• What: a private motor club with 24 “Driver Condo” units and 11 display suites, a consignment showroom, a steakhouse, a live music venue and event space.
• Who: Sirhandi Companies is the client, per the project’s architect, Architecture, Incorporated of Reston, which also designed XCAL.
• Approved: yes. The Board of Supervisors approved the application at its 14 January 2026 public hearing, per the Loudoun Times-Mirror, and the county record shows it Approved.
• Built: no. The engineering plan is in review, the grading permit is on hold and there is no building permit on file. No opening date has been announced.
• Prices: none published. XAVO’s site gives no membership fee, dues or condo price.

What XAVO says it will have

XAVO’s own site splits the motor club into two parts. The Clubhouse lists 10 two-car display suites with mezzanines, one three-car display suite and 22 “curated display spots,” reached by a dedicated vehicle elevator, with a members’ lounge, a cigar lounge with a patio, dining and bar service, and meeting and conference rooms. The Driver Condo lists 24 individual units, in larger layouts with mezzanines or “stacker” layouts that lift one car above another, with a private detailing bay and a consignment showroom.

The site does not say whether the Driver Condo units will be sold, as car condos usually are, or leased, and it does not say what membership costs. Until XAVO publishes terms, any figure you see quoted for it is somebody’s guess.

The rest of the building is open to more than members. XAVO describes an Italian steakhouse with a wood-fired oven and grill, a live music venue it calls XAVO Live, and an event space for weddings and corporate galas. The Burn’s first report, in December 2023, said the paperwork filed with Loudoun County described the club building as including “a convention or exhibition facility, featuring a car showroom,” with the club itself for members and guests and the showroom, the restaurant and the concert space open to the public.

The building and the team

Architecture, Incorporated, the Reston firm that designed XCAL next door, describes XAVO as a 129,000 square foot mixed-use building on two main floors with intermediate levels and mezzanines, with “24/7 access garages,” a consignment showroom, car display galleries and private display suites, plus offices, the music venue, the restaurant and the event hall. Its September 2025 announcement names Sirhandi Companies as the client, which bought the parcel from The Peterson Companies, with Gordon as engineer and planner and Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh as land use attorney. The Burn describes it as a structure of 128,000 square feet or more.

In June 2026 The Burn reported that the developers behind XCAL are also behind a new gas station and convenience store in the area, and that it is the same team working on “the upcoming XAVO Motor Club that will be built next door to XCAL.”

How long this has been coming

The Burn first reported a car collectors’ club for this land on 24 December 2023, when the project was at the pre-application stage. The parcel had earlier been earmarked for a WaterWalk extended-stay hotel that did not go ahead. The county’s record shows a pre-application meeting for a “Russell Branch Car Club” in July 2023 and another for the “XAVO Car Club” between December 2023 and January 2024.

The formal application, LEGI-2024-0016, “Commonwealth Center Motor Club,” was filed on 31 May 2024. It asked for a special exception to permit a 129,000 square foot convention or exhibition facility, a special exception to reduce parking through shared parking off site, and a minor special exception for a restaurant with a 4,000 square foot seating area, all in the Industrial Park zoning district, plus an amendment to the Commonwealth Center and Topgolf concept plan and proffers. The Planning Commission took it up in September 2025 and moved it to its November 2025 meeting. The Board of Supervisors approved it on 14 January 2026, the Loudoun Times-Mirror reported the next day, and the county’s record shows the case as Approved.

Approval of the use is not permission to build. Three steps still stand between the land and a building, per the county record read on 13 November 2026. The engineering plan for “a commercial building with associated landscaping, parking, and utilities,” filed in June 2025, is In Review. A stormwater permit for land disturbance of 15.43 acres, filed in August 2026, is Ready to Issue. A commercial land disturbance permit, filed in September 2026, is On Hold. There is no building permit on file for the club. The Burn reported in February 2026 that crews were being hired and that the developers hoped to start that summer; by November, the record shows no start.

XAVO is not Gas Haus. That was a separate motor club announced for Ashburn in 2021, and The Burn reports it did not move forward. If you have read about a car club coming to Ashburn before, it may have been that one.

What a club like this is

XAVO belongs to a kind of place that has spread across the country since the Great Recession, when AutoMotorPlex opened its first garage condos outside Minneapolis: somewhere enthusiasts keep their cars and also spend their evenings. Some sell you a titled garage unit and run a clubhouse for the owners. Some lease private garages. Some, like WAREHOUSE in Park City, Utah, which opened in January 2024, are members’ clubs where storing a car is one of the things membership buys, alongside a restaurant, simulators and a calendar of drives. XAVO’s plan mixes all three: condos, display suites and a club, with a restaurant and a music venue the public can use.

How the models differ, what car condos have sold for, and where the open ones are, are in What is a car condo and the directory of car condos and garage clubs, where XAVO’s own entry sits with the others in Virginia.

Until it opens

If you need somewhere for a car this winter, a garage club that does not exist yet is not the answer. What storage costs by type, from outdoor spaces to staffed collector facilities, is in How much does car storage cost, and what New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and California require before you drop insurance on a stored car is in Storing a car for winter.
