2000 14th Street N

Courthouse

Plans have been filed with Arlington County to redevelop the largely vacant office building at 2000 14th Street N 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. 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.
