Gilbane Development Breaks Ground on Office-to-Residential Conversion Project in Arlington, Virginia

by Abby Cox

ARLINGTON, VA. — Gilbane Development has begun the conversion of a six-story, 121,200-square-foot vacant office building at 3601 Wilson Blvd. in Arlington’s Virginia Square neighborhood. Dubbed Renley, the redevelopment will deliver 94 multifamily units in one- through three-bedroom configurations. Situated adjacent to the Virginia Square-GMU Metro station, Renley is one of the first projects to leverage Arlington County’s updated adaptive reuse policy, which was adopted in November 2024. The policy was designed to streamline office-to-residential conversions and create incentives for developers to bring underutilized office buildings “back to life.” Renley is targeted for completion in April 2027. Gilbane Development originally acquired the property in March 2025.   The redevelopment plan will preserve the building’s exterior, while updating the entire interior. Resident amenities will include a wellness center, coworking spaces, lounges, gathering areas and tenant storage on every floor. Renley will also offer 5,637 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 207 parking spaces located in an underground garage.

AGC: Construction Employment Increases in Less than Half of Metro Areas

by John Nelson

ARLINGTON, VA. — Construction employment increased in only 42 percent of metro areas between May 2025 and May 2026, according to an analysis of new government employment data by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), an Arlington-based trade association for the construction industry. Over the past year, 152 metro areas added construction jobs, 161 lost jobs and employment was unchanged in 47 areas. The AGC cites rising costs, ebbing demands for some sectors and political threats to various types of infrastructure construction for the dip in employment . “Even fewer areas are likely to have job increases later this year if Congress fails to renew federal legislation to fund highway and transit construction after the current law expires in September,” says Macrina Wilkins, director of market insights at AGC, referring to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The surface transportation law, which allocates federal funding for highways, public transit and intercity passenger rail, was ratified by former President Joe Biden and expires on Sept. 30. On the costs front, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) found that the May producer price index (PPI), which tracks movement in wholesale pricing between domestic producers, is up 6.5 percent on an …
