The Arlandria-Chirilagua neighborhood is slated to go through quite the transformation over the next several years.
The Arlandria-Chirilagua Plan Update seeks to preserve the cultural diversity and economic vitality of the neighborhood while making much needed updates to the neighborhood. The City of Alexandria is currently seeking input on the plan here through July 13.
In one example of the proposed change coming to the area, Mid-Atlantic Realty Partners is seeking to redevelop a shopping center in the 2800 block of Mount Vernon Avenue — near Mom's Organic Market — into a mix of retail and multifamily residences in a project dubbed Mount Vernon Village Center.
The site is currently home to a shopping center and supporting parking lot that contains MOM’s Organic Market and several other stores. The proposal calls for the demolition of the existing buildings and the construction of 23,332 square of ground floor retail including a spot for a grocery store, 593 residential units and approximately 706 parking spaces divided between two buildings.
Mid-Atlantic Realty Partners will host a virtual community meeting on July 12 at 6 p.m. They will present plans for the site and answer questions from the community. Register for the meeting here. Spanish to English translation will be available by dialing 1-888-450-5996 and entering passcode 519 309#.
