The Alexandria City Council is set to make final approvals this week on a plan to transform a former motel property on N. Washington Street into a mixed-use multifamily apartment building and townhouse.
Maryland-based PT Blooms is asking the city to approve plans to redevelop the property at 802 and 808 N. Washington Street into The Whitley—Phase 2, a 48-unit building with one- to three-bedroom condos. That’s the former Old Towne Motel property, which has been closed for years.
PT Blooms also owns The Whitley at 805-823 N. Columbus Street, a 78-unit multifamily condo building in development on the same block. The proposed concept includes an underground parking garage with 47 spaces and a roof deck.
On Tuesday (May 13), the Council will get its first reading of the proposal to rezone the property at 802 and 808 N. Washington Street to commercial and residential, as well as a proposal to build encroachments on the public sidewalk in front of the property. Council is set for a final decision on the matter at its meeting on Saturday (May 17).
According to the city, the property at 802-808 N. Washington Street was sold to its new owner, 808 Washington LLC, for $6.3 million last October.
