Coworking Firm, Food Market and Restaurant Coming to The Atrium Building in Alexandria, VA
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- W.C. & A.N. Miller Development Company and Avison Young announced today that a coworking firm, food market and restaurant have signed leases at The Atrium Building — a five-story Class A office building in the heart of Old Town Alexandria.
ALX Community, Mae's Market & Café and Virginia's Darling Restaurant will open locations at the 146,530-square-foot (SF) building at 277 South Washington Street in the coming months.
ALX Community, an Alexandria-based coworking operator, has committed to a 15,000-SF location at The Atrium Building opening in fall 2021.
"The timing of the location's opening — as well as The Atrium Building itself — should be ideal for the ALX Community," said Scott Shaw, co-founder of the coworking firm. "Fall 2021 puts us on the other side of the pandemic, which is a plus. And we think The Atrium Building's size, amenities and location are a winning combination for companies that have been waiting to make a move."
Stomping Ground Southern Restaurant in Del Ray is another local business that is growing with two new ventures at The Atrium Building. Mae's Market & Café — an all-day food market — is opening its doors in February, with Virginia's Darling Restaurant welcoming patrons at the end of 2021.
"We are extremely excited to welcome ALX Community, Mae's Market and Virginia's Darling Restaurant to our family of building tenants and strongly believe that all parties will greatly benefit from this partnership," said Robert Miller, Chief Executive Officer of W.C. & A.N. Miller Development Company.
These significant additions to the tenant roster come amidst a major building repositioning, which includes more than $5 million in planned renovations.
Focusing on creating a sustainable building community, the ownership is strategically adding critical elements to on-site amenities, offering workplace experiences focused on a balanced lifestyle and functional environment. The new and improved amenities will include multiple huddle areas in the atrium lobby, a golf-simulator, showers, lockers, secured bike room, and a 4,500-SF penthouse-level rooftop transformed into a modern conference center.
The perfect blend of modern and classic, the building features expansive 31,000-SF floor plates and a unique atrium core, with three floors currently available for lease.
Avison Young has been retained for office leasing at The Atrium Building. The team is led by Nick Gregorios, Principal in the firm's Tysons, VA office, and Chuck Kusbit, Principal in the firm's Rockville, MD office.
