4110 Columbia Pike

Jair Lynch has plans for an eight-story, 203-unit project at 4110 Columbia Pike (map). The new building will have approximately 7,500 square feet of retail space, as well as a 12,000 square foot mini park at the corner of Columbia Pike and South George Mason Drive. A structured garage will have 237 parking spaces. KGD Architecture designed the project. 

The development site was formerly the home of a Penske Truck rental and a 7-Eleven. Jair Lynch purchased the site four years, and it fits into the developer's larger years-long plan to renovate and redevelop the adjacent Barcroft Apartments complex.

1001 and 1101 South Glebe

The owner of 1001 and 1101 South Glebe Road (map) filed plans in 2023 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 Architects, 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.

2601 Columbia Pike

Plans to redevelop a strip mall along Columbia Pike are back in the works after a hiatus.

Toll Brothers filed an application with Arlington County earlier this month to construct a six-story residential building with 262 apartments, 311 parking spaces and approximately 16,000 square feet of ground-floor retail at 2601 Columbia Pike (map). MV+A Architects designed the project.

The development team stated that the focus of this new project will be the retail, which will run along the entirety of the building facing Columbia Pike. 

This is not the first redevelopment pitched for this address. Back in 2021, a six-story building with 248 apartments and a grocery store was proposed, however that development stalled as the grocery tenant for the project fell through.

The building will have two levels of below-grade parking, as well as 13,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and office space.The development is designed to incorporate the façades of two of the three commercial buildings that are currently on the site.

Pike West

Plans appear to still be in the works to redevelop the site of 14 residential buildings (totaling 90 units) from 834-877 S Greenbrier Street (map). The first phase of the Pike West development would deliver 401 units, 124 of which would be affordable to households earning up to 60% and 80% of area median income, across a pair of six-story buildings. 

The second building would wrap a six-level parking garage with 418 spaces, and would also front a new street that will bisect the first and second phases of the project. The unit mix will range from junior one-bedrooms to three-bedrooms, and there would also be 170 street-level bicycle spaces. Merion Group is the developer and KGD Architecture is the designer.
