• In August, 2006, Randolph Square was one of seven developments recognized by the Washington Smart Growth Alliance (SGA). The SGA is a coalition of six regional organizations, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Coalition for Smarter Growth, Enterprise Community Partners, Greater Washington Board of Trade, Metropolitan Washington Builders’ Council, and ULI Washington. These organizations, some of whom hold opposing views on growth issues, formed the SGA four years ago to encourage policies and projects that promote smart growth.
  
  The jury said that Randolph Square "will be an impressive capstone project to the Village at Shirlington, which is one of the most successful suburban, mixed-use districts in the region. The addition of office tenants, ground floor retail space, and a “wrapped” parking garage will add much-needed uses to the neighborhood. Importantly, the garage will share uses between the office tenants and the existing retail and restaurant businesses. Additional transportation demand management techniques will also help with traffic, such as contributions for the new bus shelter, traffic calming, and Smart Trip cards for on-site employees. They are also incorporating several green building techniques into the project." More Information.
