Simpson Properties is committed to doing everything we can to ensure the health and well-being of our tenants and guests. We want to keep you informed about Simpson’s response to the presence in the Alexandria/Springfield area regarding the Coronavirus known as COVID-19. We are taking extra measures, including frequent sanitation of all common areas in our buildings and asking our tenants to call or email rather than visit our offices in person. The following actions are designed to help keep our tenants, staff, partners and buildings safe. Please check back frequently for updates.

Robin Perrin: rperrin@simpsondev.com    Brian Manion: bmanion@simpsondev.com  Donna Leapley: dleapley@simpsondev.com If you are aware that any employees or guests in your offices is diagnosed with the coronavirus, please contact Simpson Properties immediately. This is for your safety and decreases the risk to the rest of our building tenants.  Please call us at 703.299.0029 or you may leave a message after hours at 703.299.0019. For now, our plan is for all buildings to remain open and operating, business as usual.  If there is an outbreak, Simpson will reassess and communicate to all tenants, any new updates.  Tenants will decide how their offices will operate internally and if they will be closed. We are asking that tenants report to us if they plan to close their offices or if you will be reducing your staff that will be present in the buildings. We greatly appreciate it if you have already communicated this information to us and appreciate your continued updates. We know the COVID-19 virus is causing great concern and we want you to know that we share that concern. Simpson Properties is taking the situation very seriously and is closely monitoring ongoing developments. We will adjust our operations further as needed and will keep you informed of any additional changes we may make to protect our tenants. Sincerely, Property Management Team Other Helpful Links:
