MCLEAN, VA. — LCOR has received a $59 million loan from Santander Bank to construct a multifamily property at 7480 Birdwood Ave. in McLean, roughly 10 miles west of Washington, D.C., in the Tysons region of northern Virginia.

Totaling 340,000 square feet, the property will comprise 11,000 square feet of amenity space, 388 below grade parking spaces and 319 residential units, of which 64 units will be reserved for Workforce Dwelling Units. Upon completion in the first quarter of 2017, the project will include a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with duplex units featured on the ground floor. The residences will feature carpeted bedrooms, vinyl wood plank flooring in the kitchen and living areas and ceramic tiles in the bathrooms. Stainless steel appliances will be featured in the kitchen. The project’s amenities will include an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, game center, kids room, party space, bicycle storage, dining room, pet grooming station, glass-enclosed Sky Lounge on the 10th floor and a rooftop amenity area with garden plots located on the west tower. LCOR will be working with Hoar Construction as the general contractor for the project, which will be built to achieve LEED Silver certification.
