Description

Riverside Apartments is a 28 acre residential complex located in the Old Town corridor of Alexandria. WDG has been hired to expand the existing development, which currently has three high rise towers with 1,222 apartment units. The proposed project will include five new residential buildings housing 950 units, 20,000 square feet of amenity space and a new leasing office for the development.

 

The new development organizes the site into 5 individual blocks. Multiple new streets and an organizing grid interconnecting the blocks are being introduced to promote accessibility. Landscaped open spaces with a tree-lined streetscape provide a sense of a well established urban community. The five new buildings are carefully positioned and scaled to fill each block between the three existing towers and greatly enhance the current project. The massing with subtle geometry juxtaposes the existing buildings’ monolithic scale. A thoughtful architectural composition and streamlined material palette create a pleasant contrast and cohesive balance as well as provide each building with its own identity.
