New $31M Apartment Complex to Sprout Up in Place of Car Lot

ROSSLYN, VA-A new 124-unit apartment building has been given the “OK” by the Arlington County Board to rise up at 1800 Wilson Blvd, the former location of an used auto sales outlet. The $31 million development, which will sit conveniently between the Rosslyn and Courthouse Metro stations, is a residential project of Washington, DC’s Holladay Corp. Construction is on target to commence in the fall of this year.

“This apartment building is a welcome addition to the Courthouse-Rosslyn area,” says Arlington County Board chairman Paul Ferguson. “It offers several features that will add to its attractiveness to renters, including an outdoor café area and several live-work units where people can live above their businesses.” The structure will be four or five stories tall, and will include five apartments to be designated as affordable housing units, and 10 combination live/work units set aside for renters. Development will wrap up in the spring of 2005.
