The owner of 1001 and 1101 South Glebe Road (map) filed plans last year with Arlington County for three new residential buildings and 15,000 square feet of retail at the southeast corner of Columbia Pike and South Glebe Road. The addresses are currently home to a 12-pump gas station, a service station retail building, a Midas Service Center, and a large surface parking lot.

The project, designed by MV+A Archtects, will consist of 366 apartments and will be constructed across two phases. The north phase is a multifamily building with approximately 342 apartments, 15,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a 427-space parking garage. The south phase will include 24 stacked townhouse-style units. 

The new development is anticipated to be a certified LEED construction project, and a significant portion of the retail space will be located at the intersection of Columbia Pike and South Glebe Road.
