December 6th, the Old Town North Community Partnership will host a Zoom meeting with Ryan Whittaker as he shares the vision for TideLock.
Time: 7:30-8:00 pm
TideLock is the name for the re-development and adaptive re-use of three existing early-1980s office buildings located in what is currently called TransPotomac Plaza at the intersection of N. Fairfax Street and 2nd Street in Old Town North. The current 4-story office buildings will be re-purposed into a 65-unit for-sale condominium building and a 169-unit rental apartment building which will bring over 300 new residents to the neighborhood. Fifteen of the residential units will be designated affordable and the entire re-development will be LEED Silver certified. A newly-constructed two-story building along N. Fairfax Street will contain 6,500 SF of retail space and a portion of the 5,000 SF dedicated to an arts tenant, Levine School of Music. The re-development will offer enhanced public open spaces including improved pedestrian connections to TideLock Park and the Mount Vernon Trail. The project will utilize the existing two-story parking garage which underlies the entire site. TideLock will transform obsolete office buildings into a vibrant mixed-use community which will contribute to an enlivened Old Town North neighborhood.
All are welcome but we ask that attendees reserve questions until the end of the Presentation.
