Potomac Yard will soon have a new 342-unit apartment building with a church on the first two levels.

Construction crews have cleared the site along Jefferson Davis Highway and are ready to lay the foundation, ARLnow reports.

New York-based Praedium Group's project was approved in July 2015. The 12-story building will include 24K SF for the Meetinghouse of Worship church on the north side of the first two floors. The south portion will include a lobby for the residential building and retail.

The project sits next to National Gateway, the U.S. HQ of Lidl, which the German grocer acquired in 2015 from The Meridian Group.

The parcel sits on the Arlington side of the Potomac Yard area, which stretches on either side of the border between the county and the City of Alexandria. The area is planned to get a new Metro station on the Blue and Yellow lines on the Alexandria part of the border. Metro accepted bids for design-build contracts and expects to award the assignment for the station — planned for 2020 — later this month.
