Alexandria’s real estate market is entering a new chapter, and Shareholder Bob Brant helped lead the conversation at Bisnow’s Alexandria State of the Market. Brant, a member of Walsh, Colucci, Lubeley & Walsh’s Land Use and Zoning practice group, moderated the panel “Alexandria’s Development Playbook: Development Trends Across Multifamily, Office, Retail and Mixed-Use,” bringing together industry leaders to discuss which asset classes are gaining the most momentum, how developers are navigating rising costs and entitlement hurdles, and where the city’s next wave of investment might land.

The timing couldn’t be better. Potomac Yard’s transformation is in full swing, an innovation ecosystem is taking shape around the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, and the historic waterfront is in the midst of a revival, cementing Alexandria’s place as one of Northern Virginia’s most dynamic markets. Brant and his fellow panelists explored how office repositioning, transit-oriented multifamily projects, and vibrant mixed-use development are converging to write the city’s next growth story.
