SUMMARY
The $125-million Westin Alexandria/Jamieson Condominiums represents the best in mixed-use development in an urban context, and the only project combining hotel and residential in Old Town Alexandria. The 15-story building contains a full-service Westin hotel, complete with conference/meeting facilities and ballroom space, 79 residential units, and 5,500 square feet of street-level retail. The vast selection of stylish finishes and features are complemented by access to hotel services to provide an unparalleled living experience.
ATTRACTION
The project is part of a larger, mixed-use community known as Carlyle. Carlyle is approximately 76 acres and contains a mix of residential, office, commercial and hotel uses and public space to establish a true urban neighborhood that supports round-the-clock activities. The Carlyle community has been developed following a plan which has been approved by the City of Alexandria. Parks, gardens, public squares, shops and restaurants are within this comprehensive effort.
THE MARKET
The City of Alexandria prides itself on not simply existing as a suburb of Washington, D.C., but creating an eclectic sense of place which demands its own identity. Old Town Alexandria contains a unique mix of shops, restaurants, and residences that is easily complemented by a full-service hotel. With homes that start at $300,000, The Jamieson has solidified its position in one of the fastest growing submarkets in the country. The Westin Alexandria was the first ground-up full-service hotel development in this section of Alexandria since 2002, and with its tremendous brand equity, amenities, and quality, has brought style and energy to this mixed-use project. It is a natural fit for this historic part of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
THE PLAN
Resting on a 1.28-acre tract, the Westin Alexandria/Jamieson Condominiums contain 319 rooms with 18,000 square feet of meeting and ballroom space on the ground level through the ninth floor, residential units occupy floors 10 -15, street level retail and 300 parking spaces in a 3-level below-grade parking structure. The project embodies certain basic principles of mixed-use urban development to create a community which boasts an exceptional social environment with the mix of uses in one building, while providing low operating and maintenance costs generated by careful facilities planning and maximum energy conservation.
