ARHA Pins Team for $200M Affordable Housing Redevelopment in Old Town
The Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority has selected Fairstead, Mill Creek Residential and The Communities Group to lead a $200-million redevelopment of the Samuel Madden Homes in Old Town Alexandria.
The development team will reposition the site to create a sustainable mixed-use community with 482 units of affordable and workforce housing (including brand new homes for current residents) 16,000-square-feet of retail and a new public park with a playground and art installations.
Two local nonprofits will provide on-site services to residents and the community: The Hopkins House will operate a 13,000-square-foot early learning and childcare center, and ALIVE! will provide food-access services.
In line with Alexandria’s commitment to addressing the climate crisis, the team will be partnering with the Virginia Center for Housing Research at Virginia Tech to incorporate green design elements, strategies to reduce energy and water consumption and pursue sustainability certifications.
