A proposal to build a 365-foot-tall residential building with up to 775 units and 40,000 square feet of ground-floor retail in Alexandria’s Carlyle neighborhood is heading to the Planning Commission. If approved, the project could result in the tallest at-grade building in the city.
The three-acre mixed-use development at 2425 Mill Road includes up to 775 residential units and 40,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. Aldie-based Red Fox Development will present the proposal to the Planning Commission on Nov. 6.
“This iconic building will be the tallest building in the City of Alexandria, and will provide a dynamic skyline with views north into D.C. and Masonic Temple,” Red Fox said in its application. “The innovative design and architecture complement existing development in Eisenhower East, while introducing a new aesthetic approach for the City of Alexandria.”
The Hoffman family owns the property, and the building would be located in Block 3 of a coordinated development district, on a vacant three-acre lot across the street from Wegmans at 150 Stovall Street. The property is also less than a mile from the Eisenhower Ave—Metro station.
While the proposed contract and construction prices haven’t been disclosed, Red Fox hopes to get city approval by the end of 2026, break ground by 2027, and, barring unforeseen circumstances, open in 2030.
Cooper Carry is the architect on the project, and Red Fox is represented by attorneys Ken Wire and Megan Rappolt.
