Add another residential development to the growing pipeline in the Courthouse section of Arlington. 

Plans have been filed with Arlington County to redevelop the largely vacant office building at 2000 14th Street N (map) near the Courthouse Metro station into a new 341-unit development. Penzance is seeking approval to demolish the existing 8-story office building and replace it with an 18-story, 194-foot-tall residential tower.

The project is another example of the office-to-residential conversion trend that has been reshaping the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor in recent years, though in this case the applicant is proposing full demolition rather than an adaptive reuse. SK+I Architecture is helming the design of the development.

The project would be 100% residential with no retail component, which Penzance justifies by noting the property sits outside the Courthouse neighborhood's identified retail core.

The proposal is far from the only project reshaping the Courthouse neighborhood. A wave of new residential development is advancing within just a few blocks, including: 

  • 2000 15th Street North —Trammell Crow Residential has plans for a 15-story, 394-unit apartment building one block away that would take the place of another aging office building.
  • 1320 N. Courthouse Road: Quadrangle Development has proposed converting a nine-story, largely vacant office building into approximately 295 apartments, making it one of several adaptive reuse plays in the pipeline.
  • 2050 Wilson Blvd — "Landmark Block": The Arlington County Board has already approved Greystar Real Estate Partners' redevelopment of the Landmark Block, a 20-story, 423-unit residential tower with 17,000 square feet of ground-floor retail that will serve as one of the most prominent additions to the Courthouse skyline in years.
