ARLINGTON, VA-Arlington County has approved the first project under the Clarendon Sector Plan, to encourage preservation in the historic district of Saul Centers’ Clarendon Center. It includes office space, retail and a residential tower, and is located between Wilson Boulevard, North Highland Street, 11th Street North and North Garfield Street.

A county spokesperson tells GlobeSt.com the county was pleased with the developer’s willingness to preserve two buildings in the project, instead of just the one building it initially proposed. “The thinking was, we had to get this one right, as it is essentially an anchor for the rest of the Clarendon sector,” she says. “A lot of negotiations went into it with the developer.” The end plan, “was considered a serious win. We had not been able to save two historic buildings in one project before,” she said. The two buildings kept intact in the development are the Underwood Building, built in 1939, and Old Dominion Building, built in Art Deco style in 1941.
