Story

This ambitious redevelopment project involved demolishing the existing Westmont Shopping Center and constructing Westmont Apartments, an impressive 6-story mixed-use building. Ideally situated at the intersection of Columbia Pike and Glebe Road near downtown Arlington, Westmont Apartments presents 250 luxury units featuring inspired amenities. The new building elevates apartment living with spacious floor plans, timeless interiors, modern amenities such as a lobby lounge, fitness center, conference room, below-grade parking, and a desirable balance between urban access and suburban escape. Westmont Apartments offer spacious & sophisticated apartments that showcase clean and contemporary interior design, with one and two-bedroom floor plans ranging from 600–1,500 square feet, with quartz countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, modern fixtures, and wood-style flooring. A neutral palette is showcased throughout the interior spaces and apartment finishes, evoking timeless beauty and sophistication. Featuring generously sized kitchen islands, spa-inspired baths, ample natural light, and private terraces with select homes, Westmont affords luxurious apartment living unique to the Arlington market. A complex structure, Westmont Apartments is stick frame over podium construction. A portion of the building uses structural steel instead of wood due to the open spaces needed for the amenity areas and assembly types to support the occupant loads. The building has one story of below-grade parking and two partial levels of above-grade parking to support six retail areas and residents, totaling 343 parking spaces. The full-tenant floors max out at 52 units, fully encompassing a courtyard exclusively for the residents. Because there was no laydown space outside the footprint of the building, all deliveries were made just in time due to the residential neighborhood being just over 15 feet away. The building’s exterior is predominantly brick at the corner facing Glebe and Columbia Pike, with the remainder and the courtyard constructed out of painted concrete panels. Westmont features various luxuries alongside stunning gathering spaces, indoors and out. A double-height lobby with a fireplace lounge presents a warm welcome and leads to the resident mailroom with automated package lockers and complimentary bike storage. The resort-inspired courtyard with a fire pit, grills, and generously sized dog park is perfect for daily exercise or socializing with neighbors. Beautifully designed co-working spaces are ideal for studying and working from home, while the resident game room affords numerous entertainment possibilities. Each amenity was thoughtfully planned to enhance the Westmont experience, from the fitness studio to the pet spa. Westmont’s pedestrian-friendly location offers direct access to commuter routes with proximity to the Metro, downtown Arlington, neighboring Pentagon City and Del Ray, National Landing’s Amazon HQ2 and Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, and much more.
