It is due to be demolished soon, to be replaced by a development named the Columbia Pike Village Center. This new development will be six stories tall, and is planned to have a larger grocery store (possibly one owned and run by the Harris Teeter Corporation), additional retail stores, 365 market-rate apartments, a three-level parking garage, and a public square. It is being developed by Reston-based Orr Partners.
Changes.
It will be interesting to see if any of the ethnic businesses and foods - and pinatas - will thrive or be included after the building phase of this new project has been completed.
