[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia Pike is getting several more big buildings. All are market rate, though, which I was glad to see.[/quote]

Yup. And doubtful any kids will be living in them, so that’s a plus on the one hand for keeping overcrowding manageable. If MC kids do end up living there, it’s exactly where we don’t need them - the Fleet zone, which along with Oakridge already has the lowest FRL rates in SA.[/quote]

The one that is close to completion right now is at Mason and the Pike - that's in Barcroft. And there's supposed to be a plan for townhomes just off Taylor St S.[/quote]

Centro is going to be an extended stay hotel, for now, right? The other two buildings described in the recent arlnow article are in the fleet zone. As for townhouses, aren’t there neighborhoods off the pike where county s pike plan basically forbids that type of structure from being built? So much for the missing middle.[/quote]

Only part of it, only as it transitions into an open, operating residential facility as they get renters to fill the building.  It might be wise to keep it partially so more long-term to accommodate people coming in for training at the foreign affairs facility, people who bring their per diems and discretionary money to support local restaurants and food establishments along the Pike - since that's all we get down here and don't have office worker traffic to keep retail afloat.[/quote]
