The Residence at Colvin Run received a Merit Award for design excellence of a community benefit project in the 2023 Fairfax County James M. Scott Exceptional Design Awards Program. The project was praised for its thoughtful and well-integrated features of the design which convey the feeling of a resort rather than a senior living facility by creating a non-institutional, comfortable, and familiar sense of home.

The Fairfax County Exceptional Design Awards recognize achievement in the total design of a building and its site. The awards aim to raise awareness of outstanding planning and design projects among design professionals and the general public.
