Construction on Insight Huntington Metro Begins

Construction has begun on the Insight Huntington Metro project located at North Kings Highway and School Street in Alexandria.

According to the Southeast Fairfax Development Corporation (SFDC), Insight Property Group began construction in February on the apartment building on a 3.38-acre site. The site was re-planned as part of the Comprehensive Plan amendment for the Penn Daw area approved in April 2012. The estimated total project cost is $54 million.

The 240-unit luxury apartment building is estimated to be completed in 2014 and will help an area in need of more housing, SFDC Marketing and Communications Director David Ben said.

“We are excited about watching this tremendous development rise out of the ground,” Ben said in an email.
