A proposal to convert the former Old Towne Motel property into luxury condos is heading before Alexandria's Board of Architectural Review later this month. 

PT Blooms has plans in the works to turn the former motel property at 802-808 North Washington Street (map) into a 48-unit condo building. The project -- designed by Eric Colbert & Associates -- will be the second phase of The Whitley. The first phase consists of a 78-unit building just down the block. 

The new development will deliver one- to three-bedroom condos along with 47 parking spaces in an underground garage. As part of the development, a historic townhouse at the development site will be preserved. 

Prior to the pandemic, there were plans in the works to replace the closed motel with a five-story hotel. That proposal was scrapped due to financial constraints. In April, the Alexandria Planning Commission unanimously voted to approve the new condo development.
