The owner of the dilapidated former Potomac River Generating Station in Old Town is hosting a community meeting next month on mixed-use redevelopment plans for part of the site.
HRP Group‘s virtual community meeting will be held via Zoom on Monday, May 4 from 6-7 p.m. Under discussion will be the special use permits for Block B and Block C (both submitted in July 2025), as well as open space along the waterfront and Norfolk Southern rail corridor.
HRP Group will welcome 200 visitors during sold-out public tours of the former Potomac River Generating Station site this weekend, providing residents with a firsthand look at the 18.8-acre property before it is transformed into a mixed-use waterfront community.
The tours, held on Friday and Saturday, marked the latest community engagement effort as the developer pursues final approvals for the first phase of construction. HRP Group expects to begin demolishing the defunct coal-fired power plant in 2027, with the first residential buildings scheduled to open by 2029 or 2030.
HRP Group, which is redeveloping Alexandria’s former Potomac River Generating Station power plant site, announced Monday that it has completed its separation from Hilco Global and will operate as an independent company.
The real estate redevelopment firm manages $2.6 billion in assets and oversees more than 23 million square feet of real estate across 2,300 acres in eight major U.S. markets.
HRP Group is hosting its 18th virtual community meeting on June 9, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the redevelopment of the Potomac River Generating Station (PRGS) property.
The meeting will cover plans for residential buildings on Blocks A, B, and C, as well as publicly accessible open spaces.
HRP Group (formerly known as Hilco Redevelopment Partners) is moving forward with plans to transform the former Potomac River Generating Station in Old Town North into a mixed-use development, with public engagement on the first phase set to begin next month (May 2025).
The 18-acre waterfront site, purchased by HRP Group in 2020, is slated to become a vibrant destination featuring residential buildings, commercial spaces, and over 10 acres of public open space.
