Ballston Mall Redevelopment Under Consideration

Redevelopment may include apartments, office space and retail, according to owner Forest City Washington.

Ballston Common Mall may evolve into a mixed-use development that includes apartments, office space and retail.

The new “Ballston Center” by Forest City Washington, would include “more street-facing store entrances, two-level storefronts and outdoor terraces,” Washington Business Journal reported.

Forest City Washington, which also owns the Lenox Club apartments in Arlington, Twelve12 and The Yards in D.C., showcased the redevelopment plans this week at the International Council of Shopping Centers' 2013 Mid-Atlantic Conference at National Harbor in Maryland.
