City of Alexandria
This is part of a series of stories updating the status of various development projects in and around Alexandria.
The Vulcan Materials site in Alexandria's West End is set for a major transformation.
Formerly a concrete, aggregate materials facility and sales center for Vulcan Materials Co. — the nation’s largest producer of construction aggregates, according to its website — the site just west of South Van Dorn Street will welcome new condos, townhomes, a public park and maybe a hotel.
City council voted back in April in favor of multiple development special use permits that will bring new streets to the area with the development. The development could include up to 31 townhomes, 88 stacked townhomes and multiple condo buildings with 204 units, in addition to a 256-room hotel and 6-acre park.
The condos will range from one to three bedrooms.
Lennar Corporation and Potomac Land Group II, LLC are behind the project to redevelop the now-vacant brownfields site of nearly 18 acres. Environmental remediation itself could take a year or more to complete.
