672 Flats

672 Flats is a six-story, 173-unit luxury apartment community composed of wood-frame construction above a one-level concrete podium with a two-level cast-in-place garage below grade. Due to its proximity to office buildings and the Ballston Mall, the project's tight site required two cranes as the garage spanned most of it. Poor soil conditions required sheeting and shoring with 30-inch steel pipe cross-bracing along the site's entire length. In addition to ground-floor retail, its amenities include a fitness center, game room, party room, leasing office, and bicycle storage. The community is pedestrian-friendly and within walking distance of the Ballston Metro station, Harris Teeter, Ballston Mall, and a variety of restaurants. In addition, the project earned a LEED® Silver certification.
