Mixed-Use Development Proposed Across from Braddock Metro

A new development called Braddock West could replace the row of small homes just east of the Braddock Metro station.

Real estate firm CRC Cos. LLC — Arlington-based Clark Realty Capital — is pitching a mixed-use development that would fill the low-density block between Madison and Wythe streets, the Washington Business Journal first reported.

Designs submitted to the City of Alexandria show flexible space on the Madison and Wythe street, with at least one area set aside for retail on the south side of the project. The building would have access to a 105-space underground parking garage on the north side with lobby access from N. West Street.

CRC is proposing 177 units for the site, from studio units to three-bedroom units.

The change would involve rezoning the property from single-family detached to a coordinated development district with mixed multi-family residential and retail.

Braddock West borders the stalled Andrew Adkins redevelopment project to the east, which was to be a joint effort between Alexandria’s housing authority and CRC.

If you had a chance to enhance a child’s future with a time commitment of less than 2 hours a week, how would you respond? You have that opportunity right now to join over 200 Alexandrians as a reading tutor volunteer with the Alexandria Tutoring Consortium (ATC).

ATC tutors work with one child in kindergarten, first, or second grade in Alexandria public schools who need extra help with reading. Tutors meet with their Book Buddy 1-2 times each week for 30 minutes October-May at school, during school hours. Many struggling readers only receive one-on-one instruction through this program, and it makes all the difference. Last year, ATC served 195 children, of whom 82% ended the year reading on grade level and 96% made substantial reading gains. But the need is great, and we are still seeing learning lags from the pandemic.

This year, ATC plans to significantly increase the size of the program to reach over 250 students and to serve every elementary school in Alexandria. This is very exciting news, but we will only succeed if we can recruit more tutors. ATC trains you, matches you with a child, and provides ongoing lesson materials and support.
