The former home of Sehkraft Brewery will not be vacant for long, as The Board Room looks set to move in.
Sehkraft closed its doors at 925 N. Garfield Street in the Garfield Park apartment complex in January.
The parking garage is complete and ground is being cleared in the first phase of redeveloping Pentagon Centre.
The plan by Kimco Realty calls for a 450-space parking garage, two residential towers with 690 units and 25,000 square feet of new retail space.

Question: I’m considering purchasing a new construction home in Arlington or a nearby neighborhood and have been meeting with a number of local builders to research my options.

The Free People store has closed in the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City mall.
The boho-chic women’s apparel retailer closed its doors Sunday, according to a sign in the window, which directs shoppers to other Free People stores in Georgetown, Tysons and Montgomery County, Md.
Slower job growth and a high cost of living were blamed as possible reasons for the outflow.
We have previously predicted that Arlington will struggle to retain millennial residents as they start having families due to the high cost of housing and childcare. Those millennials may seek greener pastures outside the region, particularly in the kinds of cities that saw a net influx of domestic migration: Phoenix, Dallas, Seattle and Houston.
