A lot is changing in the City of Alexandria, in the boundaries of north of I-495 and east of Quaker Lane. Let’s take a look at what is coming.

Oakville Triangle
Inova Health System, in conjunction with Stonebridge Associates, is moving along in the new Inova HealthPlex in the Oakville Triangle redevelopment. The overall project will include retail and townhomes, apartments and condo buildings. The HealthPlex will house an emergency room, outpatient and other medical services. Completion is expected in 2023.
Carlyle Crossing
This mixed-use project, coming in at 930,000 square feet across five acres, will include about 700 residential units, and 210,000 square feet of retail with Wegmans being an anchor store. The complex will spread across five buildings with open space and a pedestrian-friendly feel that will house pet parks, gardens, a pool with wading area, fountains, a theater and fireside lounges. Completion is expected this year
2121 Eisenhower Avenue
Developers have put forth plans to redevelop two office buildings into high-rise residential buildings that will be built over two phases. Each phase will construct 24-story buildings that will be connected by a parking garage.
765 John Carlyle St.
The pandemic has made developers rethink plans to build office buildings at Eisenhower Avenue and John Carlyle Street and pivot to building residential units instead. The space is now planned for a senior residential building and a rental building. Both have plans for ground-level retail and public park space.
912 King St. and 116 Henry St.
A parking lot near Jeni’S Ice Cream and Bloomers will turn into mixed-use buildings with residential and retail—potentially a restaurant space—and a high-tech garage that automatically parks cars.
The Alexan
The old WMATA bus barn is turning into apartments. Upon completion, which is expected early 2022, will be a six-story building with underground parking and will house 286 units.
TRANSPORTATION NEWS
City staff is taking on the Duke Street corridor with plans to improve the traffic flow on this main thoroughfare. What they are dubbing, Duke Street in Motion, the city has recently held public commentary sessions to gauge the public input on addressing the traffic patterns on Duke Street from Landmark to the King Street Metro.
Potomac Yard Metro opening has been delayed due to safety concerns. The station was scheduled to open spring of 2022 but has been pushed to the fall of 2022 because of safety concerns about the automatic train control system.
