EYA Finalizes Land Deal for Townhomes in National Landing

EYA LLC has closed on the land for Highlands Row, a new townhome community located in the heart of National Landing.

Highlands Row marks the next phase of a transformative, mixed-income expansion of the Crystal House Apartments complex. The project is a public-private partnership among Arlington County, Amazon’s Housing Equity Fund, EYA, True Ground Housing Partners and Washington Housing Conservancy.

Developed through a public-private partnership, Highlands Row is part of a five-phase infill redevelopment plan that will expand the existing 828-unit Crystal House Apartments with 865 additional housing units, including 655 dedicated affordable units.

“This deal is a major step forward in delivering on our vision for Highlands Row,” said Jack Lester, EVP of Acquisitions and Development at EYA. “Highlands Row will offer residents a unique blend of urban connectivity and neighborhood charm to new residents and honors our commitment to provide new housing options to Arlington County.”

Meet the nation’s top owners, investors, developers, brokers, and lenders—key decision-makers shaping the multifamily market. Whether you’re targeting capital partners, strategic suppliers, or industry visionaries, this one-day conference on September 11 in Los Angeles is your opportunity. Network smart, exchange insights, and forge relationships that drive deals. This isn’t just a conference—it’s where the dealmakers go. www.connectapts2025.com
