L.F. Jennings is the GC for this project that involves the exterior renovation of two pedestrian Vias—North Via and South Via—within an active retail center in Shirlington, VA. The scope includes selective demolition of existing roof structures and lighting, façade upgrades, architectural enhancements, and new lighting installations.
At the North Via, improvements include removal of the roof structure over the stair connecting South Arlington Drive to Campbell Avenue, patching of walls and stair surfaces, application of a new stucco finish on existing masonry walls, construction of steel fin frames with cantilevered canopies above storefronts, installation of illuminated tenant signage, site grading, new paving, stair refinishing, and updated metal coping and scuppers.
The South Via scope includes demolition of the existing roof and lighting, patching and waterproofing of existing EIFS walls and beams, painting of exposed structural elements, installation of decorative pergola beams with suspended lighting, and new metal coping.
The project is scheduled to begin in July 2025, with subcontractor bids due by June 4, 2025.
