Clarendon Center Project & Development by Saul Centers Inc.
Can one imagine the Clarendon area being more developed or revitalized? Well it's happening along the Clarendon Metro. Arlington County has given Saul Centers Inc. clearance on demolishing most of 2 city blocks adjoining Clarendon Metro and N Highland St....Read all the details of the Clarendon Center development project on N Highland St such as its retail, timeline & residential parameters & objectives.

What do you think about the Clarendon Center Project???
Good idea, bad idea? A hassle or exciting? Will there be condos or apartments? I'd love to hear your voices on this. All I know is that Hard Times Cafe makes the best hamburger around so it better be preserved--haha.

"The center also will include crosswalks and curb extensions at the six intersections surrounding the project and a new plaza with outdoor seating and a water feature at the southwest corner of Clarendon Boulevard and North Highland Street."

I love the results of the mix of capitalism and government. Sounds like a wonderful addition to our new neighborhood.

Here's hoping that the developer and/or Arlington County had the foresight to include open spaces -- maybe even a tree, a blade of grass, or a plaza -- in the plan. I can understand the focus on density (for the sake of transportation efficiency, provision of county services, etc.) But the Orange Line corridor is becoming a soulless urban canyon. Even the highly skyscrapered Manhattan has requirements for public spaces.
When the only places to walk end up being sidewalks, hallways, escalators, stairways, and tunnels -- Arlington becomes a rat maze. And a rat-maze environment would turn us all into rats. (Environment influences behavior.)
