Floriana Italian Restaurant to Open New Location in Alexandria
Cushman & Wakefield has arranged a 5,800-square-foot retail lease for Floriana, an Italian restaurant concept, at The Atrium in Alexandria.
The new location at 277 South Washington Street marks the restaurant’s first establishment in Virginia, expanding its presence beyond its long-standing locations in Washington, D.C., and Wilmington, North Carolina.
Sophie Van Pelt of Cushman & Wakefield represented Floriana in the lease negotiations. The landlord, W.C. and A.N. Miller Development Company, was represented by Melissa Webb and Bill Dickinson of Rappaport. “We are thrilled to bring such a beloved D.C. institution to Alexandria,” said Van Pelt. “This location at The Atrium provides the perfect setting for their continued success.”
The new restaurant will occupy the former Virginia’s Darling space, offering all-day dining to the Old Town Alexandria community. The expansion into Virginia signifies a new chapter of growth for the restaurant, which also recently signed a lease for a new location in Huntsville, Alabama.
