The Millennium at Metropolitan Park

Arlington, VA

In 2003 Kettler, a premiere residential developer in the Washington, DC region received approval by Arlington County for a master-planned community of 3,200 units. The master plan was developed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects and will include eight buildings centered on a one-acre public park.

The Millennium is the second building of this development and is currently under construction with occupancy scheduled for the summer of 2010. The 19 story high-rise is to include over 300 luxury rental residential units and will be LEED-certified.

ForrestPerkins was engaged to shape the dramatic 30 foot tall lobby gallery that draws the eye of the passerby through the building into the park. The detailing of the lobby sets the design for the property with textured gray pavers, a large expanse of porcelain walls punctuated by a strong band of dark wood paneling and ceiling. The common areas include a library, meeting room, roof top social room, spa and pool and fitness center.
