Dylan Condos at Potomac Yard in Old Town Alexandria
With condo sales slated for Spring 2021, Dylan has been described as a new vision for refined living at Old Town Alexandria’s Potomac Yard. As many already know, the historic location was once one of the nation’s busiest railyards, and has since been transformed into a vibrant mixed-use residential and shopping community. Potomac Yard sits at the edge of the Potomac River, and is also adjacent National Landing—the new home of Amazon’s HQ2. Developed by FORTIS after a purchase from Pulte Homes, Dylan’s twin six-story buildings offer handsome brick exteriors complemented by spacious and aesthetically pleasing interior design.
Lush Art-Inspired Surroundings
The new Dylan community celebrates Alexandria’s deep connection to the Arts, with lush greenspaces, benches, picnic areas and artwork displays from local area artists. The waterfront location is ideal, as is the next-door proximity to Potomac Yard itself with its many new shops, restaurants and entertainment. The East and West buildings with their staggered bays, balconies and three shades of brick—red, white and gray—are surrounded by manicured urban greenbelts, perfect for strolling or walking the dog!
Spacious Luxe Interiors
The floorplans at Dylan emphasize both style and a sense of spaciousness, from one-bedroom apartments for sale starting in the $600s, to three-bedroom models starting around $1,080,000. The average size is 1,200 square feet, with gleaming hardwood floors that exude a warm-hued rustic character. One-bedroom layouts include dens, and many of the larger floorplans boast extra spaces as well. Many of the condos come with private balconies. Open gourmet kitchens with Bosch appliances, waterfall islands, premium Porcelanosa cabinets and wine storage, provide the perfect spaces for both cooking and socializing. The spa-style baths are also notable, with Waterworks fixtures and white Calcutta quartz counters.
Amenities Galore
Exceptional service begins with accommodating concierges in each building’s luxurious lobbies, with staff committed to assisting with grocery delivery, daily chores, pet care coordination, event planning and more. Rooftop terraces and lounges at both the East and West buildings offer luxe environments in which residents can relax by a cozy fireplace or share a drink while watching the sunset. The fitness center and yoga room combine high-performance equipment with sunny, warm finishes. You can work from home in the innovative business center, and pamper your pooch at the pet washing station. Storage lockers, Amazon Hub lockers, secure parking, and a bike workshop and storage are among the other perks.
The Potomac Yard Experience
The property that Dylan now occupies was once a sprawling colonial tobacco plantation. Rail lines connected Alexandria to Washington by the mid-1800s, and in 1907, Potomac Yard was established as a freight hub for six different lines. The yard closed down during the modern era, with many years of planning before evolving into the current destination place with shopping, restaurants, bakeries, groceries, movies and multiple upscale residences. The new Potomac Yard Metro Station is aimed at a 2022 opening, and will connect residences with all the surrounding communities including DC. Reagan National Airport is also next-door to the north.
Living in Old Town Alexandria
For all the convenience offered by Potomac Yard’s upscale condos for sale, it’s also worth pointing out the larger Old Town experience. The waterfront location is in the northern Old Town Alexandria sector, just blocks from trendy Del Ray with its indie shops and restaurants, the new National Landing to the north with its Amazon H2Q2 Headquarters, and Old Town itself with its incredibly rich panoply of historic sites and cosmopolitan lifestyle amenities. There are nearby parks, trails along the river, boat slips, art galleries, boutique shops and more top dining places than you can shake a stick at! Head south to King Street with its free trolley and shopping experience or cross the river to Washington, DC. The location is picture perfect.
