In 1986 the Arlington County Board created a plan to revive life into the once grand “Main Street” — Columbia Pike in South Arlington. We have seen the plan, the revised plan and the updated plan. Until last year when we actually started to see some action.
The first project on the Pike is now being build. It’s a mixed– use project called The Halstead.
The Halstead
Located on the corner on Walter Reed Drive & Columbia Pike, The Halstead will be an 8–story mixed-use project of 269 condominium units and 42,350 square feet of retail space– of which the Arlington Free Clinic will be assigned 7,500 square feet. The County will reserve 128 parking spaces for public parking. In keeping with the history of The Pike, the Halstead will incorporate the facade of the Arlington Hardware store which was located on this spot for decades. There is currently no pricing information available but the project looks to be the start of something big. I have some calls into the county for more info on the condos- but still waiting to hear back. As soon as I have more information about condo sales– I’ll post it here.
I stopped by there to take some pictures of the progress on the building- still just a large whole in the ground.
If The Halstead looks anything close the architect’s rendition– it’s going to be awesome and give a whole new look to the tired face on The Pike.
