Saul Envisions New Development for Mazda Site

Saul Centers has informally approached Arlington County about redeveloping a recently acquired Rosenthal Mazda dealership (pictured) and a neighboring Haute Fabrics at the intersection of Wilson Boulevard and North Glebe Road. The developer envisions a 431-unit apartment building with 68,285 SF of ground-floor retail at the 2.56-acre lot. The building has the potential for 500k SF, the Washington Business Journal reports. Saul purchased the Mazda site for $40M last August, and acquired the adjacent lot in December for $2.8M. The developer is looking to rezone the land to allow for one building with heights ranging from four stories to 12 stories.
