PRESS RELEASE: $100 Million Senior Living Community Opens in Potomac Yard

The Landing adds to the mix of residential offerings in one of Alexandria’s most exciting neighborhoods

Alexandria, VA (May 18, 2022) — South Potomac Yard continues its transformation and expands its residential options with the opening of The Landing, a new senior living community offering luxury independent living in one of the most exciting neighborhoods in Alexandria, Virginia.

Located at 2620 Main Line Boulevard, The Landing is ideally situated next to National Landing, Virginia Tech’s Innovation Campus and the future Inova Oakville Healthplex as well as the soon-to-be-open Potomac Yard Metro Station.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the opening of The Landing,” said Alexandria Mayor Justin Wilson. “The City welcomes new and future residents to this stunning community as Potomac Yard continues its transformation to be one of the most exciting neighborhoods in the entire DC metro area.”

Construction began in 2020 on the nine-story building, designed to resemble a boutique hotel.  High ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows enhance the two-story lobby with a baby grand piano.  Residents of The Landing enjoy a wide variety of amenities such as concierge services, chef-driven restaurants, lounges with a full bar, state-of-the-art fitness equipment, a salon and day spa as well as lush private courtyards and a rooftop terrace.  The Skyline Terrace is a natural gathering spot, outfitted with an indoor/outdoor lounge, billiards, community gardens and firepit seating. The Landing offers 163 well-appointed apartment homes with 40 units dedicated to independent living, 89 units to assisted living and 34 units to memory care.

“We are exceptionally proud of The Landing,” said Bobby Zeiller, co-chief executive officer of Silverstone Senior Living. “The Landing is the first community in our portfolio to offer independent living; it will undoubtedly be a dynamic destination for seniors in the area.”

Operator Watermark Retirement Communities, a leader in senior living, enlists its highly trained associates to provide custom care, personal assistance, and its award-winning programs such as Watermark University and EngageVR, allowing residents to continue learning, growing and achieving wellness.

“Watermark is delighted to be a part of this extraordinary community,” said Karen Mlawsky, chief operating officer for Watermark Retirement Communities. “Our team looks forward to welcoming our residents to an elevated lifestyle of choice and engagement through our signature wellness programs, care options and exceptional hospitality.”

Private studio, one- and two-bedroom residences are offered on a monthly rental basis with no long-term commitment. Apartments feature modern kitchenettes, upscale finishes and tall ceilings allowing ample natural light. Select floorplans include a private balcony with sweeping views of the Potomac River.

In addition, the community hosts a brand-new CVS Pharmacy at 2620 Main Line Boulevard, open to the public and directly accessible for The Landing’s residents.
