Back in January, UrbanTurf reported on plans for a new 19-story apartment building at the site of an Arlington office building. Now, those plans are coming into focus. 

An affiliate of Trammell Crow Residential has filed new plans with Arlington County for a 394-unit apartment building at the site of the Arlington Plaza office building at 2000 15th Street North. Based on new renderings, the project will be called Alexan Courthouse. 

The developer would demolish the office building and construct the new apartment project, designed by SK+I Architecture, in its place. There will be 269 parking spaces for the proposed building in an underground garage, and bicycle parking facilities will also be included. The development team will also create new open space connecting nearby public streets to the existing public open space at the Tellus Plaza. 

The plans are just the latest to be filed with Arlington aimed at either replacing or converting office buildings into residential projects. Just before Christmas, JBG SMITH filed plans for a new hotel and apartment development at the site of two Northern Virginia office towers.
