A proposal to build a seven-story residential multi-unit building with 402 units in Alexandria’s West End is scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission on Thursday, Nov. 6.
Maryland-based Bozzuto Development Company is presenting the plan to redevelop the vacant four-acre lot at 4880 Mark Center Drive, which is bounded by the Winkler Botanical Preserve and near the Seminary Road exit to Interstate 395.
Plans include a 419-space controlled access parking garage, a reduction of the required minimum of 518 spaces for such a proposal. Bozzuto says that the proposed reduction is “consistent with parking utilization within other rental communities operated by Bozzuto in the market and is adequate to serve the project, as the property is served by more than four bus routes within a 1/4-mile and is within walking distance to the Mark Center Transit Center.”
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.
Bozzuto is being represented by Walsh, Colucci, Lubeley and Walsh.
