At its July 6, 2021 meeting, City Council unanimously approved the  redevelopment agreements  for the site of the former Landmark Mall, which will result in up to approximately four million square feet of new development. The project will be anchored by the relocation and expansion of Inova’s new state-of-the-art Alexandria Hospital bringing more than 2,000 health care workers to the medical campus. This transformational project—led by developer Foulger-Pratt—was named by the Washington Business Journal as the 2020 Real Estate Deal of the Year. 

The applicant team for the former Landmark Mall site has rebranded the site as the West End and is providing development updates, including notices about community meetings, on their website . Additional background and meeting information can also be found on INOVA's Hospital Campus website .

City Financial Participation

To facilitate the redevelopment of the Landmark site, the transaction includes investment of (a) $54 million in public bond funds to acquire land to lease to Inova for the proposed hospital and related medical facilities, and (b) $123.6 million in public bond funds for Landmark site preparation and infrastructure costs. By investing public funds (which has been contemplated as far back as 2004), the City would accelerate the revitalization of Alexandria’s West End. This investment of public monies through the use of bonds will enable to the City to tap into future tax revenues generated by the site’s redevelopment backstopped by special assessments imposed on the property within the Landmark Community Development Authority (“CDA”) district to repay those bonds. This method of financing is a form of Tax Increment Financing (a “TIF”), which is a commonly used method of public economic development financing utilized in the United States.  The Potomac Yard Metrorail Station now under construction is largely a TIF-funded project. It is projected that over a 30-year period, the net gain for the City to pay for Landmark and citywide services is $810 million.  

The initial agreement announced on December 21, 2020, was a non-binding  Preliminary Term Sheet  document that explains the intent of the City of Alexandria; Inova Health System; and a development joint venture of Foulger-Pratt, The Howard Hughes Corporation, and Seritage Growth Properties (a publicly-traded, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust headquartered in New York, which owns a portion of the Landmark site). The Preliminary Term Sheet represented the framework of the proposed City financial participation that the City Manager planned to recommend to the community and City Council. The non-binding Preliminary Term Sheet agreement laid out the principal business terms and responsibilities among the parties, which provided a foundation for formal regulatory applications. 

At its July 6, 2021 meeting, the Alexandria City Council unanimously approved the  redevelopment agreements  for the site of the former Landmark Mall. On September 18, 2021, the City Council adopted the Landmark CDA ordinance to enable the creation of the Landmark CDA. At its May 23, 2023 the City Council unanimously approved the revised funding plan for the project. To the extent that the incremental tax revenues at the Landmark site are less than the amounts due on the general obligation capital improvement bonds (“City Bonds”), the City shall be entitled to seek reimbursement for any City funds applied to pay debt service on the City Bonds through the collection of annual installments of the special assessments within the Landmark CDA.

Any future development review, special use permits, rezoning or other approvals will be subject to all of the usual staff review and recommendations, public hearings, and approvals by the Planning Commission, City Council, or both.

Landmark Community Development Authority

The Landmark Community Development Authority (CDA) was created by ordinance of the City Council according to the Community Development Authority Act to impose voluntary special assessments as requested and agreed to by the landowners with the Landmark CDA district.

2018-2019 Landmark Mall Re-Planning Process

After lengthy delays as a result of changes to the Landmark Mall sites' ownership structure, changes in department store ownership and economics and the overall real estate market, in 2018 The Howard Hughes Corporation, partial owner of the Landmark Mall site since 2010, indicated their readiness to move forward with redevelopment, which required an update to the Landmark Mall framework plan and Landmark/Van Dorn Corridor Plan (2009). City Council approved this effort as a priority in the  FY 2019 Long-Range Planning Work Program . The   Ad Hoc Eisenhower West/Landmark Van Dorn Implementation Advisory Group  served as the community forum for the duration of the Landmark Mall re-planning process. 

On May 18, 2019, City Council adopted the new chapter to the Landmark/Van Dorn Corridor Plan developed during the Landmark Mall Re-Planning Process.

Eisenhower West / Landmark Van Dorn Implementation

The 2009 Landmark Van Dorn Corridor Plan and the 2015 Eisenhower West Small Area Plan both recommend establishment of an advisory group to provide guidance on implementation. Since the two plan areas overlap and share dependency on planned infrastructure, looking at the phasing and funding of both plans in concert will provide necessary coordination. This page provides information on these implementation efforts .

The birth and flourishing of landmark mall, unveiling the reimagination blueprint, timeline of major events at landmark mall, the decline and closure, demolition and the birth of west end alexandria, inova at landmark: a healthcare hub for alexandria’s westend, the future unveiled, related posts.

Once a retail marvel in Alexandria, Virginia , Landmark Mall embarked on its journey as a shopping haven in 1965. Its grand opening set the stage for a retail adventure that was nothing short of monumental. Amidst the bustling city life, Landmark Mall emerged as a sanctuary for shoppers.

Sears, With Hecht Co. and Woodward & Lothrop as its anchor stores, the mall was no less than a retail carnival.

Over 675,000 square feet of space, bustling with myriad stores, each telling its tale of fashion, home decor, and much more. It was a place where Alexandria’s heart beat the rhythm of commerce, and the echo could be heard far and wide.

“The year 1990 saw Landmark Mall embracing a new avatar, transitioning from an open to an enclosed mall, embodying the evolving retail landscape.”

Moving on, the transformation was a testament to the mall’s ability to keep pace with changing consumer preferences. It was about creating a space where people could shop and experience a slice of urbanity amidst a sprawling suburban landscape.

The mall’s evolution didn’t stop there. It was a continuous endeavor to match the steps with the ever-evolving retail industry, trying to hold its ground against the ebb and flow of urban development.

As the whispers of change blew across the retail landscape, a new vision for Landmark Mall was conceived in 2006.

The idea was grand – transforming the conventional mall into an open-air “town center” shopping complex. It was about breaking the mold and setting a new precedent in retail architecture.

However, the metamorphosis began when the Howard Hughes Corporation took over the reins in 2009. They envisioned something more than just a shopping center; it was about creating an ‘urban town.’ A place where retail met residential and modern urban living could find a new expression.

“The reimagining of Landmark Mall was not merely about changing its physical structure, but redefining the essence of community living in Alexandria.”

In contrast, the journey from conception to realization wasn’t smooth. After numerous discussions, plans, and blueprints, the vision started forming a tangible shape by 2013. It was not just about erecting buildings but creating a lifestyle, a new heartbeat for Alexandria that would resonate with modern urban living.

The city was on the brink of witnessing a retail renaissance, something that would redefine things to do in Alexandria, Virginia . However, little did anyone know the path was laden with more twists and turns.

As the curtain of 2013 drew to a close, the anticipations were high, and the city was on the cusp of embracing a new era of urban living.

The narrative of Landmark Mall was about to add a mesmerizing chapter filled with hopes, challenges, and endless possibilities.

The chapters of glory started fading as the dusk of decline dawned upon Landmark Mall. The once buzzing corridors started witnessing a lesser footfall, and the retail music began losing its rhythm. The closing of Macy’s in 2017 was more than just a store closure; it was the end of an era.

The decline was not sudden; it was a slow transition that mirrored the changing retail landscape nationwide. The rise of e-commerce, changing consumer behaviors, and the quest for something new reshaped the essence of traditional retail spaces.

“The closure of Landmark Mall was not the end, but a bend in its long journey, opening doors to a realm of new possibilities.”

The news of the mall’s closure in 2017 reverberated across the city, marking the end of a retail epoch. However, every ending is a new beginning, and for Landmark Mall, it is about embracing a new destiny.

The transition from a bustling mall to a closed structure reflected the broader economic and urban changes. Yet, the spirit of Landmark Mall was not lost; it was waiting for a new dawn, a new narrative that could once again make it a crown jewel of Alexandria.

The whispers of demolition began circling the air around Landmark Mall. The once-crowded hallways were now vacant, awaiting the rumble of machinery to mark the start of a new chapter.

As the sun cast a new light on Alexandria on May 12, 2022, the demolition crews arrived at the mall, and the echoes of the past started mingling with the dreams of tomorrow.

With every stroke of the wrecking ball, memories crumbled, making way for hopes of a better future. It was more than just a physical transformation; it was about metamorphosing the soul of Alexandria’s urban landscape. The mall that once stood as a retail giant was now a canvas, ready to be painted with modern urban ethos.

“The transformation was not about erasing the past, but about creating a bridge between yesterday and tomorrow.”

As the dust settled, a new name emerged from the rubble – West End Alexandria . It was more than just a rebranding; it was a statement of intent. A promise of a better, more vibrant urban future where community and commerce could thrive together in a modern mixed-use development.

The crux of West End Alexandria was to blend the commercial charisma of Landmark Mall with the modern-day urban lifestyle. It was about creating a space where every corner had a story to tell, every pathway led to an experience, and every structure was a testament to Alexandria’s urban evolution.

The Inova at Landmark project, a sprawling 1.1 million-square-foot healthcare facility, received unanimous approval from the Alexandria City Council on March 20, 2023.

This decision paves the way for Inova to commence construction on the former Landmark Mall site in 2024, with plans to complete the four-building hospital campus by 2028.

Inova at Landmark will encompass a hospital center, a cancer center, a specialty care center, and a retrofitted parking garage.

The project positions Inova Alexandria Hospital as a crucial anchor in the WestEnd development, redefining one of Alexandria’s most significant neighborhoods and showcasing the strength of the local economy.

The state-of-the-art medical facilities will undoubtedly attract further investments, employers, and residents, breathing new life into the WestEnd project and solidifying its status as a bustling, revitalized community hub.

The blueprints of WestEnd Alexandria were more than just architectural sketches; they were dreams etched on paper. The plan was grand yet grounded, aiming to create a space that was inclusive, vibrant, and in tune with modern urban needs.

The unveiling of the redevelopment plans was like opening a book of the future, each page narrating a tale of what Alexandria could become.

The plans showcased a multi-faceted development encompassing residential buildings, pavilions, restaurants, and much more. It was about creating a microcosm of urban life amidst the sprawling landscape of Alexandria.

The future holds a promise of endless possibilities. West End Alexandria is not just a redevelopment project; it’s a vision of what modern urban living can be. It’s a stepping stone towards creating a legacy that would resonate through the corridors of time.

“Every brick that will be laid in West End Alexandria will be a step towards creating a modern urban legacy.”

As the narrative of Landmark Mall continues to evolve, the legacy it leaves behind is of resilience, evolution, and the indomitable spirit of Alexandria. The journey from a retail giant to an urban innovator is a testament to the endless possibilities that lie within the heart of Alexandria.

Developer opens up about next steps for Landmark Mall redevelopment

Landmark Mall is gone , so what’s next?

A representative from developer Foulger-Pratt spoke at the Eisenhower West Landmark Van Dorn Implementation Advisory Group earlier this week to provide a bird’s eye view of what’s going on at the project.

Currently, Landmark Mall itself is almost completely demolished, saved for one corner still being used as an office to oversee the development.

While Inova is currently working through its own development application process at the western end of the development, other projects are in the works throughout the site.

At the presentation, the developer’s representative said the first four buildings to come online will be E1, E2, G and Eye on the map above. The E and G blocks will be part of a new housing development called Aspect.

The two residential buildings will have a total of 390 units and will be connected by a bridge, with residents able to move between buildings easily. The development will also have around 70,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor.

Block Eye is set to become a development called The Brightly. It will feature 390 residential units with “big box retail” on the ground floor. The developer said that could be anything from a gym to a large retail store.

Clockwise below block Eye are blocks M and L2, which are both slated to become townhomes, with that development process scheduled to kick off beginning in 2023.

Block L1 is set aside as senior housing, but a previous contract for that development fell through in August. The Foulger-Pratt representative said that project is going back on market to find a senior housing developer.

Block K, set in the center of the new development, is named Thrive and the developer said it will have a more “neo-industrial” aesthetic. Thrive is set to have 337 residential units with 30,000 square feet of retail space.

The rest of the development includes:

• Block J: dedicated affordable housing
• Block D: future multifamily project
• Block H: split between hotel and condominiums

The developer’s representative said none of those three projects have begun the application process.

The Foulger-Pratt representative said horizontal infrastructure work starts in November while the rest of the development starts to work through the application processes. If all goes well, vertical construction at the site could begin as early as January 2024. Infrastructure at the site is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2025 with the buildings completed starting in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The developer was, once again, confronted by city officials about the project’s terrible name: West End.

As far back as the start of demolition on the mall, city officials have been urging the developer to pick something else. The area is already locally known as Landmark, but “West End” generally refers to the broader section of the city rather than this specific development. The representative at the meeting said Foulger-Pratt is “pretty wedded” to the West End branding, but that the expectation is over time the individual developments within the site — ie Thrive or The Brightly — will become the more commonly used names.

L iving in L andmark M ews

Experience living in landmark mews, a community with a park setting, the benefits of the west end of alexandria, & the convenience of inside the beltway., a bout l andmark   m ew s.

Enjoy the video below showing Landmark Mews and information on the proximity of the community to work, cultural, and recreational activities in the West End of Alexandria, Old Town Alexandria, Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland.

Landmark Mews is a community of 148 townhouses that surrounds 1-acre central Commons.  This Park setting created by the Commons and the mature trees, brick walls, and lush landscaping is rare for a community located Inside  the Beltway.  Landmark Mews not only provides  these green space features for residents to enjoy, but also is only 13 miles from Washington, DC, with immediate access to 395/Beltway/95, and offers the Livability benefits from its location at the West End of Alexandria.

Dining, shopping, recreational, and cultural options found in Washington DC, Old Town Alexandria, Arlington, and Tysons are within easy reach.  A wide range of regular Life necessities are all within 10-15 minutes from Landmark Mews.  For example,  The St. James , a 450,000 sq.ft. sport, wellness, and lifestyle complex is a 10-minute drive.  The West End Farmers Market is five minutes away, with the Old Town Farmers Market in the heart of Old Town just 15 minutes away.

The Community offers 1-car garage townhouses, with interior units having 2900-3100 finished sq.ft. and end units having 3400-3600 finished sq.ft.  The number of communities within the Beltway that offer townhouses of this size is truly a very short list.  This list is even shorter if you desire to live in Alexandria or Arlington.

Landmark Mews is also uniquely positioned to derive maximum "livability," health-related, and location-driven community appeal and valuation benefits from the WestEnd Alexandria project (see details below).

In 2020, Landmark Mews completed a two-year renovation of its entire landscaping, which includes installation of LED pathway lighting.

The large central grass Commons has walking paths, benches, and landscaping that creates a space for a peaceful walk or quiet reflection, with this green space located a short stroll from any front door in Landmark Mews.  With the extensive landscaping, mature trees, and brick driveways and front walks throughout the community, Landmark Mews provides its residents with eye-pleasing views to enjoy outside their home every day.  The Commons and m ature landscaping are quality of Life features that are rarely found in a community located inside the Beltway.  

Bren Mar Park, which is the Fairfax County park adjacent to Landmark Mews, is a 10-15 minute walk from any front door in the community.  The park has 32-acres of mature trees, Turkeycock Run stream, Truss bridges, and walking trails to enjoy.

Access to Verizon Fios is also available to Landmark Mews residents.

The Van Dorn Metro is located less than a 10-minute drive, with 361 daily parking spaces.  A no-fare City of Alexandria DASH bus service with a 12-minute ride time to and from the Van Dorn Metro is a 12-minute walk from Landmark Mews.  A WMATA bus with service to the Pentagon is the same 12-minute walk, with a 44 minute front door-to-Pentagon travel time.

What is WestEnd Alexandria?

On December 22, 2020, the City of Alexandria announced the plan to redevelop Landmark Mall, with Inova as the anchor client and Foulger-Pratt as the local developer.

On February 2, 2022, Foulger-Pratt announced that the name of the redevelopment project will be "WestEnd Alexandria."

WestEnd Alexandria is designed to be a community gathering place for Alexandria's West End, with residential, retail, and restaurants, 3.5 acres of public parks, a minimum of 25% open space for each block, a transit hub, and a new fire station. ​

This development project is one of the largest projects located Inside the Beltway & in all of Northern Virginia, at $1+ Billion for the non-hospital portion and $2.2 Billion for the entire site.

The New Inova Alexandria Hospital Campus      Inova will build a new World-class hospital complex with:

230 in-patient hospital (all private rooms);

Level II Trauma Center (1 of 3 in NoVa), providing 24-hour specialty services for brain injuries, complex fractures, and other trauma care;

Level III NICU;

Comprehensive cancer care center;

Advanced services for obstetrics, heart & vascular, & neurosciences; and

Medical office building for 50 specialty physicians.

On March 18, 2023, the Alexandria City Council unanimously approved the Special Use Permit for the Inova Alexandria Hospital Campus.  Inova can now proceed for approval of the Final Site Plan, which is expec ted to occur in Summer 2023.

The Hospital Campus is scheduled to open in 1st Quarter of 2028.

In addition to bringing a World-class hospital and shopping, dining, & entertainment options five minutes from Landmark Mews, the WestEnd Alexandria  project will be a catalyst for other planned development projects that will bring additional options for livability benefits along the Landmark-Van Dorn Corridor, such as Overlook at West End, Greenhill South, the Vulcan site redevelopment, and other projects.

The Landmark Mall Redevelopment: The Inside Scoop

March 16, 2021 | Inside Alexandria | By: The Goodhart Group

Many Alexandrians are wondering what’s going on in the West End, home to an expansive– and currently unused — parcel of land. Read on for the latest scoop on the Landmark Mall redevelopment project.

The Backstory

What’s Coming

In its place will be a walkable “urban village,” anchored by a new Inova hospital complex and extensive mixed-use development. The redeveloped site will include residential, retail, commercial, and entertainment offerings, a central plaza, parks, open spaces, and municipal services including a fire-EMS station and a transit hub.

The City of Alexandria will use $54 million in public bond financing to buy the land and then lease it to Inova. The City also plans to utilize $76 million in public bonds for the site preparation and infrastructure development, such as sewers and road work. Construction will happen over several years and likely begin in 2022 with demolition. T he project is scheduled to be built in phases with expected completion as early as 2032.

Here we will look at the main portions of this planned development.

The new hospital will feature two seven-story in-patient towers with 230 patient rooms, a cancer center, and a medical office building for 50 specialists. It will become one of only three Level II trauma centers in Northern Virginia, with the ability to provide 24-hour specialty services for brain injuries and other traumas.

Construction of the hospital is projected to start in 2023, beginning to come online in 2025.

Housing. Plans for the site include affordable housing to be built above a new fire-EMS station, similar to the layout of the mixed residential-fire station in Potomac Yard. The developers said the Landmark project will offer a mix of residential options, including market-rate apartments, senior housing, as well as for-sale townhomes and condos.

Transit and Parking. Included in the site will be a transit hub where Metrobus, DASH, and two Bus Rapid Transit lines will intersect, as well as bike and pedestrian access. The existing above-grade parking structure will remain and two additional parking options (one above ground and one below) will be added to support the hospital.

Public Space.  At least 3.5 acres of publicly accessible open space will be part of the development. Its Central Plaza will be an easily-accessible, attractive, and inviting gathering place for the community. The site will offer the ability to close its streets to host events such as live music and farmer’s markets.

The Bottom Line

Big changes are coming to the West End! What does the Landmark Mall redevelopment mean for the local community and real estate market? Well, this new development can only mean good things for local home values. As always, we will keep a close eye on the situation and keep you posted!
