Introducing Arlington’s Newest Condos: 2000 Clarendon

Introducing Arlington’s Newest Condos: 2000 Clarendon

  • 04/1/19
Question: Do you have any details in the new condos being built in Courthouse at 2000 Clarendon?
 
Answer: The Arlington market has been delivering about one new condo building per year over the last 8 years and will continue that trend with the introduction of 87 luxury condos at 2000 Clarendon, in the Courthouse neighborhood. Currently a hole in the ground, limited access pre-sales will start this week, with a projected delivery of Spring 2020.
 

Broad Range of Size and Style

38 total 1BR/1BA units range in size from 627 sqft to 739 sqft, priced from the upper $400s to mid $500s. The next jump is to a 1BR +Den with 1.5BA at 830 sqft, with 12 units starting in the upper $500s.
 
The most popular units, and fastest to sell, will likely be the 2BR/2BA options, of which there are 31, ranging in price and size from the upper $600’s to low $800’s and 973 sqft to 1,076 sqft, respectively.
 
There are two 2BR+Den/2.5BA floor plans, just six total units, with 1,362 sqft and 1,739 sqft. Based on the floor plans I’ve seen, the dens are legitimate/legal 3rd bedrooms. These units are being offer from $1.1M to over $1.4M and are located only on the top three floors (Sky Suites).
 
All units include one garage parking space. Additional parking and private storage are available for purchase.
 
Given current market conditions, I think the 2BR/2BA units are the best value at these prices. However, I expect all floor plans to be in high demand. Over the last three years, there has been an average of 28 two-bedroom condos and 23 one-bedroom condos for sale in April in the 22201 zip code. As of April 1 2019, there are only 11 two-bedrooms condos and 7 one-bedroom condos for sale in the 22201 zip code.
 

Below Are Some Highlights of the Unit Designs and Options:

  • Concrete construction between all units (very quiet and rare for newer buildings).

  • Owners can customize their units from a selection of wide plank hardwood flooring, quartz countertops, and cabinetry.

  • Chefs will be pleased to hear the building will have gas cooking.

  • Hardwood throughout the living areas and bedrooms is standard (no carpet anywhere).

  • Most units have floor-to-ceiling windows, all have windows heights of 7’ or more.

  • About 70% of the units have a private balcony or terrace.

  • Floors 1-11 will have 10’ ceilings (9’ is standard in most condos so you’ll notice a difference).

  • Floors 12-14 are Sky Suites and have 12’ ceilings with an upgraded appliance package.

  • Floors 1, 3, 6, and 9 are “loft style” with exposed ductwork, piping, and columns which provides for additional ceiling height.
 

Luxury Amenities, Modest Fees

I’ve been pretty disappointed in the bland exterior design of some recent condo and apartment buildings along the R-B Corridor, but kudos to the builder, The Bush Companies, for spending on improved architectural design and materials to make this building look sleek and modern.
 
While condo fees are not finalized, the projected fees are quite reasonable compared to the rest of the market. 1BRs top out at $350/mon and the 2BRs at $500/mon. This is well below the average for one- and two-bedroom condos in Arlington. Owners will have access to amenities including:
 
  • Two-level cascading pool & sun deck.

  • Rooftop terrace with Monument and Georgetown views.

  • Rooftop club room including kitchen and entertainment space.

  • Large fitness center with outdoor terrace.
