2025 Fairfax – Arlington
2025 Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA
FORTIS is reviving a long-dormant approval for a 12-story multi-family residential project located only blocks from the Courthouse Metro in thriving Arlington, VA.
The 19,846 SF property benefits from excellent visibility and walkability at the corner of Arlington Blvd and N Courthouse Road and is adjacent to the historic Wakefield Manor apartment property. The transit-oriented development will capitalize on tremendous growth across the County and consumer demand along the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor and will further benefit from the pending completion of Amazon HQ2 only 2-miles away.
With a design team led by KGD Architecture and VIKA, a new siteplan amendment is being processed by the developer to improve the overall project design, architecture, and efficiency, with approximately 150,000 SF, 166-units, and 2 levels of below grade parking.
Amenities will include a luxurious 2-story lobby, fitness facility, elevated outdoor courtyard and grill stations, rooftop lounge and terraces with outstanding monument views, an Amazon hub system, bike & resident storage, and more. The Project is expected to break ground in late 2024 and will deliver in 2026.

Delivered in the Spring of 2023, Dylan perfectly coincided with major market catalysts including the opening of the brand new Potomac Yard Metrorail Station (0.25 mile away), the new Virginia Tech Innovation Campus (only a few blocks north of the Property), and the delivery of phase one of Amazon’s new HQ2 campus in National Landing.
Dylan features luxurious unit interiors that are complemented by unique community amenities, providing an elevated experience for residents. Select building amenities include a modern lobby, rooftop terrace, and club room in each building, fitness and business centers, a maker space, electric car charging stations, bicycle and resident storage, and more than 200 secure, below-grade parking spaces.
