Construction wraps up on second apartment tower in Pentagon Centre redevelopment

Pentagon City’s metamorphosis is continuing.

The second apartment tower in the multi-phase Pentagon Centre shopping center redevelopment is now complete.

The Milton, at 1446 S. Grant Street, is an 11-story, 253-unit building developed by Kimco Realty. So far, it is already 25% leased and move-ins are expected to start this month, a spokeswoman told ARLnow.

Various businesses are expected to move into the roughly 16,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. In a statement, Kimco Realty says this retail, “carefully curated to complement the neighborhood,” will be announced later this year.

Tenants will have use of a community garden and potting station, two outdoor courtyards with a co-working area, a pet spa with wash stations, a gym and clubroom, per the statement. The building is designed to meet LEED Silver standards for sustainability and was named for Kimco Realty co-founder Milton Cooper.

The first residential tower in the long-term redevelopment of the retail center opened four years ago. The 26-story, 440-unit building, dubbed The Witmer, is located on the other wide of the property, above the second Pentagon City Metro entrance at 710 12th Street S.

Future plans for the area — which Kimco recently updated — propose two office buildings, three more residential towers, additional retail and a hotel, as well as a 30% increase in green space, criss-crossed by planted paths dubbed “green ribbons” in the recently-updated Pentagon City Sector Plan.

In a statement, Kimco Realty Southern Region President Tom Simmons said this new building “offers something new for Pentagon City.”

“The Milton provides residents with direct access to several key sites in Arlington, which has become a huge hub for recent development,” he said, highlighting the essentially complete Amazon HQ2 office complex nearby and the Virginia Tech Innovation campus in Potomac Yard.

Today, Kimco Realty announced project details and move-ins for The Milton, the second residential tower in the multi-phase Pentagon Centre development, named after Kimco Realty co-founder Milton Cooper. The Milton offers the opportunity to live conveniently in the Pentagon City neighborhood with direct access to a wide variety of shopping and dining options, in an energetic, modern building. Located at 1446 South Grant Street, the 11-story, over 300,000 square-foot building features 253 total residences with amenities that are unparalleled in the market, including an extraordinary, expansive rooftop oasis.

The Milton is part of the Pentagon Centre redevelopment of an existing 330,000-square-foot retail center located directly above the Pentagon City Metro Station. The first residential tower, The Witmer, which is 26 stories tall with 440 units and 7,000 square feet of ground floor retail, opened in 2019. Future plans for the area following the completion of The Milton include additional retail, office space, and a hotel – bringing the total project size to nearly two million square feet at full build-out.
