Wooster and Mercer | Market Pulse | April 2023

The two-building complex in Arlington’s Rosslyn neighborhood also extends down the side streets of N. Pierce and N. Queen Streets. Developed by Abdo and designed by Cunningham Quill Architects, the buildings have a retro-industrial look from outside, with clever interior accents such as the 150 year old bricks that were repurposed from the former Little Sisters of the Poor convent in Washington, DC.

There were two new listings in April, which is both unusual and welcome news for a condominium community that rarely has availabilities. Unit #W309 in the Wooster building is priced at $1,325,000.
