When the Arlington County Board approved the Potomac Yard Phased Development Site Plan (PDSP) in October 2000, developers relied on the resources available at Walsh, Colucci, Lubeley, Emrich and Walsh to effectively guide and advise them on their projects. As the preeminent land use law firm in the region, the firm was able to provide their clients with unparalleled access to county officials as they planned the projects that would enhance the quality of life for the community. Combining the best of urban design with the best “green” building practices, Center Park is a model for modern transit-oriented development. The mixed-use complex of retail, office and residential space is being developed by Comstock Potomac Yard, LC. The two 11-story buildings built on a formerly abandoned railroad yard will house condominiums, a Harris Teeter grocery store, restaurants, banks, and office space. In addition, transit stops are planned for the main entrances. These amenities reflect the County’s vision of a pedestrian-oriented, urban lifestyle. Sharing their knowledge of the land development process in Arlington County, Walsh, Colucci, Lubeley, Emrich and Walsh was able to assist Comstock Potomac Yard, LC in successfully building one of the gateways to Potomac Yard.
