Living and Working in the Carlyle District
The Carlyle District is named for John Carlyle, a Scottish merchant who was a founding trustee and the first overseer of Alexandria, Virginia. Ultimately, it will comprise more than 7 million square feet of office, hotel, residential, and retail space. The 76.5-acre tract is designed to be a vibrant, walkable area with an atmosphere that reflects adjacent Old Town but with a modern urban flair. It is designated a Coordinated Design/Development District (CDD), meaning design and development standards are already in place for an allocated 7 million square feet of office, hotel, residential, and retail space, allowing for faster approval of final plans.

Will,
What a big project! They haven't tried to build anything like that up here. Thanks for the comment on my blog. I thought a 1 column format would be way to long. It took a lot of work getting that information all together & getting the photographs done.
