Metro’s planned Greater Washington office consolidation is likely to include a large office building on Alexandria’s Eisenhower Avenue corridor, near the transit agency’s existing rail yard.
The city’s Carlyle Design Review Board is scheduled to take an initial look April 25 at a nearly 400,000-square-foot office building planned for 2395 Mill Road, a tax exempt, 1-acre lot owned by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. WMATA is proposing nine floors of office over a four-story parking podium.
