Arlington Mill Community Center

Arlington, Virginia

Arlington Mill Community Center is a key anchor in the redevelopment of the Columbia Pike Corridor. In order to take full advantage of this important site, a 67,500 SF mixed-use development provides a 5 level community center with street front retail along Columbia Pike and mixed-income housing units behind.

At the center of the project is a large open civic plaza with performance space with a connection to the indoor basketball courts to provide both an indoor and outdoor event space. The project includes a three-classroom day care center and an outdoor playground on the plaza level. A community outreach program was implemented to foster public involvement in the project.

Arlington Mill complies with the requirements of the Columbia Pike Form Based Codes. These codes are designed to preserve a high level of walkability and livability and to promote a “Main Street” atmosphere promoting restaurants, businesses, and attractive public spaces.

Arlington Mill was designed for LEED New Construction (NC) Silver certification but exceeded beyond this goal, achieving LEED NC Gold certification April 2014.
