3033 Wilson Community Announcements

1. The soft strip demolition is nearly complete on the above grade floors.
2.  Structural demolition at the penthouse continues.
3. Per the approved MOT, metered parking on the East side of N. Highland Street will be closed, starting next week, to allow for façade demolition.

The contractor was not able to start the utility work in N. Garfield and N. Highland Street in the month of May but is currently targeting that work for the middle of June.

In preparation for the utility work, tree protection will be installed on the west side of N. Highland Street.

We would like to inform you that our demolition subcontractor is planning to shut down N Garfield St, weather permitting, on Saturday May 16th to erect a mobile crane.  This crane will primarily serve to take down equipment from the rooftop of the existing building that weekend.

We will be shutting down N. Garfield adjacent to our site.  Approximately from Wilson Blvd to the end of our property.  Access to/from N. Garfield St. will be limited to the northside, from Franklin Rd.  See attached map for the approximate location of the crane on N. Garfield Street.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding with this activity.

1. The soft strip demolition continues on the above grade floors.   The demo contractor will continue to sort and remove multiple dumpsters of material daily through this phase of work.
2. Structural demolition has begun in the penthouse.
3. Per the approved MOT, parking on the West side of N. Garfield has been closed to allow for façade demolition.
4. The concrete contractor will be mobilizing in May to begin activities for necessary strengthening improvements to the existing garage and foundations below grade.
5. A mobile crane will be set up (and removed) on a Saturday in May on N. Garfield Street to remove mechanical equipment from the rooftop.  This is tentatively scheduled for May 16.

There is utility work in both N. Garfield and N. Highland Street which is planned to start in the next month.   Further details will be made available as that work gets closer.

The general contractor, John Moriarty and Associates of Virginia, will be mobilizing to the site over the next week.

What to Expect:

1. The surface lot was posted for no parking as of 3/25/26.
2. The construction fencing will be erected.
3. Dust monitoring equipment for the Demolition Phase will be installed.
4. Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing trades will be in the building making it safe for demo to begin.
5. Demolition subcontractor will begin soft strip: interior demo and removal of non-structural elements.
6. Portions of the façade will be removed to allow loading of demo equipment onto the floors and provide an efficient removal pathway.

The soft strip is projected to last 4 to 6 weeks.  The bulk façade demo is currently scheduled to begin in late April with the above grade structural demo following in late May / early June 2026 and running through September 2026.

The Site Plan Conditions provide working hours of 7am – 9pm weekdays and 9am – 9pm weekends and holidays.  At this time, the typical shift will be 7:00am to 3:30pm weekdays.

Project updates will be posted to a web page starting in April.

Please find the attached Arlington County approved MOT for the demolition phase of the project. Per our last meeting, we communicated that the project would be starting on 3/16/2026, but it is currently trending toward the last week of March, at which time you can expect to see the construction fence installed.
