Nearly four years after the Wendy’s in Courthouse closed, the prominent but empty lot at 2026 Wilson Blvd is set to remain an empty lot for the foreseeable future.
Once set to become a 12-story office building, the site — located on a triangle of land a block from the Courthouse Metro station — is now proposed as a “temporary off-site contractor’s storage and staging area” for the condo construction project across the street. The Arlington County Board is set to consider the use permit at its meeting this Saturday.
“The proposed use is anticipated to last no longer than one (1) year,” according to a county staff report.
Per the office project, which was approved by the County Board in March 2015, the report notes: “At this time it is unknown when construction will begin.”
