First Look: Gaslight Square in Rosslyn

  • June 13th 2012

by UrbanTurf Staff

Last night UrbanTurf attended an advance opening of Gaslight Square, the most recent condominium to be constructed in Arlington’s Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor. The 117-unit, three-tower luxury project from renowned local developer Jim Abdo features private elevator access to the units, underground parking, and floor-through units (meaning they extend from the front of the building to the back).

Gaslight Square’s location (map) at the midpoint between the Courthouse and Rosslyn Metro stations on the Orange line mean residents will “always be able to walk downhill to take the Metro,” in the words of Abdo. “You get on the Metro by walking down to the Rosslyn stop, then you get home by walking down from Courthouse.”

About 350 people attended last night’s event, according to McWilliams|Ballard, the new condo sales and marketing firm selling the building. Nearly half of the units in the first tower have been sold, with settlements slated to begin next week.

To learn more about the project, see UrbanTurf’s previous coverage here and here.

There will be an official grand opening to the public on Saturday, June 23rd. In the meantime, see the following few photos we snapped at the sneak peek:
