| Shared Parking Study - Arlington County, Virginia |
 Federal Realty Investment Trust retained Wells + Associates to conduct traffic and shared parking studies at the Village at Shirlington mixed-use development that is located in Arlington County, Virginia. The existing development consists of approximately 120,000 S.F. of retail space (much of which is vacant), 150,000 S.F. of office space, 45,000 S.F. of restaurants, and a 1,560-seat cinema.Federal Realty plans to renovate and expand the existing development. Several alternative development scenarios are being considered. These include another 450,000 S.F. of retail space, 25,000 S.F. of restaurants, and 5,000 cinema seats. A new hotel, ice rink, and residential townhouses are also being considered. Tenant and public agency parking requirements are major determinants of the amount and mix of development that can be adequately accommodated on the site. Accordingly, Wells + Associates developed a shared parking model for weekday and weekend day activity. Using a combination nationally published data and parking occupancy counts at the existing project, Wells + Associates developed a calibrated parking demand model for weekday and weekend use. The model also includes synergy factors that reflect the fact that shoppers will patronize more than one use on a single visit. This model is being used to formulate the development program and parking facility design. Plan prepared by Cooper Carry |
