2024 ALEXANDRIA DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Thrive in Alexandria
Alexandria is comprised of vibrant—and growing neighborhoods. From the established live-work-play historic charm of King Street and recent waterfront development to new energy coming to the former Landmark Mall parcel, Alexandria continues to offer extensive opportunity for projects big and small.
The following maps show the active development areas and existing opportunities, highlighting the catalyst-sparked growth in WestEnd Alexandria and North Potomac Yard, and the availability in Carlyle and at the former Potomac River Generating Station, the last large block of developable waterfront land in Northern Virginia.

CARLYLE
Thanks to a healthy mix of uses, including major residential projects and a Wegman’s, the neighborhood continues to grow post-pandemic, with the opportunity to move right into a Class A trophy space or redevelop parking lots adjacent to the Metro.
POTOMAC RIVER GENERATING STATION
The Potomac River Generating Station is getting a second chance at life, thanks to Hilco Redevelopment Partner’s ambitious plan to convert the former coal plant with show-stopping DC views into the ultimate waterfront destination.
POTOMAC YARD
The North Potomac Yard Small Area Plan was last updated in 2020, before the demand for office fell. Construction has not started on any building other than the first Virginia Tech Innovation Campus academic building. It is unlikely that offices will be built in the near term, but any changes to this plan will have to go through a new public planning process.
WEST END
The former Landmark Mall site is transforming into WestEnd Alexandria, an innovative mixed-use community complete with housing, parks, retail, and anchored by a state-of-the art hospital and cancer treatment center.
