Demolition plan submitted for Annandale apartment project

The developer of a future mixed-use project at the Eastgate Shopping Center on John Marr Drive in Annandale submitted a demolition plan to Fairfax County on Jan. 28.

The project would replace half of the shopping center with a six-story multifamily building with 270 units, retail space, and an urban park. The Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning application from American Properties for the project in October 2023.

Everything to the left of K Market – including Kimen Ramen Izakaya, Pelicana Chicken, The Block, b-Thrifty, ToBe Nails, Sinsegye Department, and Ben Gong’s Tea – is slated for demolition.

It will take about six months to review and approve the rough grading plan for the site, says a staff member in the county’s Land Development Services. Demolition and clearing could start as soon as the plan is approved.
