Project description: The Market Common Clarendon is a unique mixed-use development, located within the greater Washington D.C. area. Clarendon was once a major retail and residential hub, but anchor stores such as JC Penny, Sears and others relocated from the area and Clarendon lost its retail appeal. Similarly, its appeal as a residential area lagged the growth spurt being experienced just over the Key Bridge.

The 9.4-acre site was acquired and an extended period of negotiation and collaboration with the community and the government of Arlington County ensued. The resulting project has won national and international acclaim. It was named by the International Council of Shopping Centers the winner of the prestigious International Award of Excellence and received an Honor Award from the Urban Land Institute.
