Torti Gallas and Partners, Inc. is pleased to announce the opening of
The Bartlett in Arlington, Virginia. This Torti Gallas designed project
was developed by Vornado and includes 699 residential units, a Whole
Foods grocery and smaller scale ground floor retail.
The Bartlett has transformed an industrial area of warehouse buildings
into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood surrounding a grand central park.
Occupying a full city block, The Bartlett is a signature piece of the
larger Metropolitan Park development.
The residential portion of the building provides high-end apartment
living with a wide variety of amenities. In addition to multiple levels
of green roof areas and terraces, the building features a large tranquil
courtyard of over 12,000 sf. Active amenity spaces include a large
fitness center and 2 levels of large rooftop terraces, each with party
rooms adjacent to the terrace space. The upper roof terrace, located on
the top of the 22-story tower, takes full advantage of the fantastic
views of the Potomac River and the monumental core of Washington, DC.
The tower also includes multiple swimming lanes and lounge areas in and
out of the water.
This transit-oriented development is adjacent to metro, light-rail and
bus lines, helping to support a sustainable culture and lifestyle for
the building's residents. Additionally, The Bartlett was designed to
reach a minimum certification level of LEED Silver. The building
features over 15,000 sf of green roof area and uses high efficiency
central building systems to provide heating and cooling of the occupied
spaces as well as heat recovery and central water boilers. The
residential units and public spaces feature EnergyStar lighting and
appliances throughout.
The Bartlett is an exciting step forward in the continued sustainable
urbanization of one of the most transit convenient neighborhoods in
Arlington County.
