Info

Central and Eastern Eden Center Blocks East of the pedestrian village, both the Capital Properties and the gas station sites will be consolidated with the rest of the Eden Center site to become high-rise office buildings with retail on the first floor. The Capital Properties site lies adjacent to the new Roosevelt retail corridor. Figure 3.10: Streetscape with Tree Median Buildings on the Eden Center site that face Roosevelt Blvd will complement the size and scale of buildings on the other side of Roosevelt in order to give the street a harmonious and dignified Main Street presence. The retail mix along Roosevelt Blvd will be composed of upscale vendors and national chains. This location would be ideal for coffee shops, bookstores, beauty shops, bakeries, and specialty clothing stores. Both functional and hidden, a structured parking garage will be built between the two office buildings. Figure 3.11: Streetscape with Median A new divided street with median will pass east/west from Roosevelt Blvd, between the office buildings, and leading towards the pedestrian village. Figures 3.10 and 3.11 show general concept views of what the street could look like.
Eden Center will now have a residential component to complement the other uses, and help create a truly unique and attractive new part of Falls Church. Apartments and condominiums will be located on the three blocks along the northern edge of Eden Center, near the transit center, and along another new east/west street that connects with Roosevelt Boulevard. Residential units can also be located along Wilson Boulevard, one block west of Roosevelt Boulevard. Because so much of the area is on high elevation, all units should feature balconies to take advantage of views, and balconies facing the pedestrian village will be excellent for entertaining and people-watching (See Figure 3.12: Residential Buildings with Balconies, below). We think Eden Center would be a very attractive place to live for young professionals who would enjoy having so many diverse and attractive amenities just a few steps from home.
