A New Gem on King Street

A Family Legacy Reimagined

So, picture this: a family matriarch snagged 615 King St. in Old Town Alexandria over 50 years ago. That move set the stage for something big. Fast forward to 2021, and The Silverman Group, led by Holden Sabato, zooms in on 621 King St. You could say they recognized a rare gem among Old Town’s bustling retail corridors.

Sabato’s Vision for King Street

“We’re stoked to inject some boutique residential flair into King Street,” Sabato gushed. According to him, the blend of chic homes and vibrant retail brings fresh energy to Old Town. The Silverman Group, calling Basking Ridge, New Jersey home, knows a thing or two about spicing up real estate scenes.

The Retail Lineup: Artisan Meets Modern

Now, talk about hot retail spots. Artisanal legend King Arthur Baking Company clinched a space early via quick Teams meetings. “They came to us through the broker, and boom, deal signed,” Sabato recalled. And just like that, Shake Shack jumped on board too, creating a retail symphony on King Street that’s tough to beat.

Boutique Living: More Than Just Apartments

What’s up above that buzzing retail? A three-story haven with 24 boutiquey apartments. Think studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. Sabato points out the tricky but rewarding Old Town development process, focusing on light, views, and modern vibes while respecting the neighborhood’s soul. Residents can expect slick finishes, prime appliances, and stellar common areas.

Amenities Galore

Dive into perks like a fully equipped fitness center, a slick resident lounge that’s got a kitchen, a private meeting space, and a rooftop terrace offering sweeping views of King Street and the Potomac River. Did I mention there’s no on-site parking? But fear not—transit is a breeze with the King Street Metro and the free trolley.

The Perfect Spot in Old Town

This place is all about location, location, location! Strolling distance to everything cool in Old Town and a hop, skip, and jump to public transport—convenience is key. The Silverman Group ensures everything runs smoothly with direct management for top-notch service.

Opening Soon

The grand opening? It’s penciled in for late August, with the retail scene set to dazzle by mid-summer. Sabato hints at more projects in Alexandria, but for now, this boutique beauty’s their sole venture in the city.

Wrapping Up

As Sabato proudly stated, this project isn’t just a property—it’s a testament to five decades of family commitment. It’s about to become the crown jewel of Old Town, and visitors are in for a treat.
