People don’t believe me when I say it, but I don’t think that not having a Metro station in Shirlington is a problem. For one thing, we have excellent Metro bus service and the new covered bus station is being built. If you take the 7A, C, F or E bus to The Pentagon, it’s an 8-minute bus ride. Where else is there a shorter commute? We also have buses that go to Del Ray, Old Town, Ballston and Tysons (not a short ride, but you get there eventually). As for the io piazza, it’s a shame the hotel wasn’t built there as was originally planned. That would have been a great location for a nice hotel.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I agree with you. The commute to the Pentagon is quick.
It’s sad that the Ed Peete Company backed out of IO. I think they would have been able to sell the condos- if they did what West Village did- and priced according to the market.
The county is still thinking of putting up an extended-stay hotel in the parking lot next to the movie theater and across from the Shirlington Village condo.
We’ll see what happens.
[...] I have visited this property with various clients since it first opened. It was comforting to see that they adjusted their pricing to meet the market and didn’t cut and run like the Ed Peete Company. KSI seems committed to the neighborhood. I appreciate that in a developer. They are offering incentives to close in 30 days in Phase 2 and some lesser incentives to wait for Phase 3. They are not requiring that you use their lender. The condo fees are in line with the other condo communities in the area. [...]
