Two developments that could further transform Alexandria’s Mark Center area will be unveiled next month.
The Beauregard Design Advisory Committee will get a first glimpse on Sept. 9 of the multi-use developments at 1900 N. Beauregard Street and 4880 Mark Center Drive. The meeting will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. at Patrick Henry Recreation Center (4653 Taney Avenue).
“The agenda includes an introduction of a proposed multi-unit project at 1900 N. Beauregard Street, an introduction of a proposed multi-unit building at 4880 Mark Center Drive, approval of previous meeting notes, and staff updates,” the city said in an announcement.
The project at 1900 N. Beauregard was presented last year and drew condemnation from three neighborhood associations.
The Monday Properties project would replace a three-story 1970’s-era medical office building with a six-to-seven-story multifamily residential building with 340-to-350 apartments, a parking garage and a swimming pool.
The four-acre, 425,000 square-foot property at 4880 Mark Center Drive was acquired last year by Stewart Investment Partners for $8.25 million, according to the city’s Office of Real Estate Assessments. The property is zoned for multi-family commercial, residential, hotel and senior living.
The project includes a “stick over podium configuration,” according to Stewart Investment Partners.
The committee will receive presentations on the preliminary special use permit proposals for both projects, and their recommendations will go to the city’s director of planning and zoning, as well as the Planning Commission and City Council for final determination.
