| With more than 2 million
square feet of office space under construction, ultimately bringing 7,000
employees and 700 visitors a day to the site, the U.S. Patent & Trademark
Office is single-handedly driving enough demand to fuel the creation of
an office submarket in Alexandria. The 76.5-acre master-planned Carlyle
development is designated a Coordinated Design/Development District (CDD),
meaning design and development standards are already in place for the allocated
7 million square feet of office, hotel, residential, and retail space, allowing
for faster approval of final plans. Carlyle is within walking distance of
the King Street Metro station and the Amtrak/Virginia Railway Express station,
and is one of Northern Virginia's most convenient and accessible business
locations. |
