What's Around the Corner?

From our wonderful Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization...an update on what's happening at Columbia Pike and Walter Reed!!!

Final touches are being put on the exterior of The Halstead Arlington, the 8-story mixed-use building at the corner of the Pike and S. Walter Reed Dr. Recently, CPRO staff were treated to a tour of the project by Justin Sparrow of DSF Advisors, the Halstead’s developer. The apartment leasing office, just off the residential lobby, is scheduled to open by the end of October. The 269 luxury units include a mix of studios, one bedroom and two bedroom apartments, some with balconies offering expansive views of the Pike and surrounding areas. From the upper floors one can see Ballston, Rosslyn, Skyline, as well as sights including the Washington Cathedral, the Air Force Memorial, and the Washington Monument.

The 40,000 sq. feet of ground floor space will house a Lost Dog Cafe, a World Gym, and the Arlington Free Clinic. In addition, leasing discussions are underway with a full service restaurant and several other prospective tenants.

The addition of a Lost Dog Cafe to Columbia Pike is some of the best news I have heard this month. Thank you.

Hooray for Lost Dog in south Arlington! Perhaps we could petition to get Cowboy Cafe back on the Pike? Is that asking for too much......
