About Us

WORKING TOWARDS A CARBON-FREE FUTURE.

Our successes began back in 1975 with an acquisition and vision for 20 acres in Fairfax County that became Spring Park Technology Center. Adjacent acquisitions and development included Spring Street South, headquarters for C-3, and the Herndon Towne Center, which kicked off decades of success.

Green Energy Partners were also the founders of the InterGate Company that acquired thousands of acres between Dulles Airport and Rt. 7 to Belmont Ridge Road. Today known as Ashburn Farms, Beau Meade, Loudoun 28, The Auto Mall, Loudoun Gateway, Airport West, and Mercure Industrial Park in Virginia.

We acquired and partnered in the evolution and development of 4,000 acres which is now a dominant part of the town of Round Hill, as well as the purchase and development of 1,000 acres now known as Stone Ridge. These Northern Virginia locations have been built out and are thriving planned communities.

More recently, we acquired 300 acres for the development of a property called Stonewall Secure where we partnered with Bechtel and built an 850 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant. This plant utilizes the effluent from the Leesburg sanitary sewer plant to make steam to power a 400 MW steam turbine, which averted massive destruction of forestry that would have been required to bring in new power lines. The residual property was zoned for data centers and sold to Google and Mitsubishi.

All in all, we have developed over 11,000 acres and created more than 15,000 residential and industrial lots in Loudoun County, not to mention thousands of jobs. Today we are committed to making a difference in our world with the acquisition and development of properties that support Green Energy and a carbon-free future for our planet.

RITA PIERCE | VP Research & Marketing

Rita is brilliant and has a sixth sense that finds that piece of key information that even the brightest miss. She’s all about researching and learning 24/7. She has an insatiable curiosity that has been focused on markets, trends, influencers and market opportunities through her experience in marketing and communication on a breadth of brands over the last 20 years. It’s her in-depth research that informs strategy, approach and messaging to respective target audiences at Green Energy Partners. Her approach is more focused on the right questions versus a pile of data that’s not actionable. It’s no surprise she joined Green Energy Partners, as she also has a degree in Horticulture from University of Maryland. She says witnessing the increasing devastation to our forests is just the tip of the iceberg because when you see it all on a macro level you literally see the slow destruction of an eco-system on a path to the inability to grow food in our world. Today Rita is intent on helping find sustainable green energy solutions for a healthier world.
