The project, known as Metropolitan Park Phase 6, is envisioned to continue the revitalization of Crystal City and Pentagon City. The proposed Met 6 project will consist of the redevelopment of aging industrial use sites to vibrant mixed-use residential buildings including approximately 550 units and street level retail space. The new buildings will range in height from 18 to 22 stories and will include design and construction of new public streets and infrastructure along all four sides of the site, all of which will be built to Arlington County Public Standards.
The project was designed and developed in accordance with the adopted Metropolitan Park Design Guidelines, as well as many recommended changes to those guidelines by Arlington County. These changes were done in response to recently approved adjacent projects and were designed to obtain LEED Silver certification. Bowman provided full engineering and surveying support for the project from conceptual design to final construction documents. In addition, Bowman provided support through the complete administrative site plan process, including site plan review committee meetings, Transportation Commission, Planning Commission and finally County Board approval. The final engineering permit plans for this project are currently under review.
