Developers and Others Host Community Forum on Beauregard Plan

Citizens can learn about plans for Alexandria’s Beauregard Corridor at a free Community Open House, to be held at the Shops at Mark Center on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Representatives from the property owners for the redevelopment sites and their consultants will answer questions about the Beauregard Corridor Plan.

According to the developers and others, the Beauregard Corridor Plan envisions a mixed-use community that respects existing adjacent neighborhoods and the area’s natural beauty while providing new amenities including parks, a new fire station, transportation improvements, athletic fields, a modern grocery store, restaurants, shops and services. At the open house on Saturday, neighborhood residents can learn more about the vision, design and timeline for the plan.

The Shops at Mark Center are located at 1452-1480 North Beauregard St. in Alexandria. The open house will be held under a white tent in the parking lot.

The open house is hosted by the Beauregard Corridor Developer Stakeholders, a group of property owners with redevelopment sites within the Beauregard Corridor.

These property owners include The JBG Companies, Home Properties, Hekemian & Co., Duke Realty and Southern Towers.

The stakeholders have been working collaboratively with the City of Alexandria and the community on the Beauregard Corridor Small Area Plan over the last two and a half years.
