After more than two years, a proposal for a new apartment and townhouse development off of Columbia Pike is primed to start moving forward in 2026.
The project at 1001 and 1101 S. Glebe Road, first pitched in June 2023, has an updated design and the team is gearing up to begin working with the county on the proposal, Andrew Schneider, executive director of the Columbia Pike Partnership, told ARLnow.
There’s about a 50/50 chance of snow Friday morning, but if it does fall it will likely stick and cause problems on untreated roads.

Northern Virginia Fairfax Families for Safe Streets (NoVA FSS) cordially invites you to attend and support our upcoming World Day of Remembrance (WDoR) for Road Traffic Victims.
World Day of Remembrance is an annual event where we honor those whose lives were prematurely ended after being struck by a person driving. This year is particularly painful and sad as we think about the recent death of a 13-year-old Frost middle school student who was struck and killed by a person driving a truck on Pickett Road. We will also honor the nearly 30 other people (as of today’s date) who have been killed on Northern Virginia streets while, walking, biking, or rolling since last year’s day of remembrance.
An automated system that adjusts the timing of traffic signals when buses are running late is helping to improve transit reliability along Langston Blvd.

A drop in occupancy rates at Arlington hotels is raising concerns about how long a rebound might take and the ripple effects it will have across the county’s overall economy.
