The Duke In The News

05/12/09 The Duke, Alexandria, VA: History in the Making

OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA, VA—5/12/2009

The Duke, the newest neighborhood of townhomes and condos for sale in Alexandria, Virginia’s famous Old Town Historic District, is moving closer to completion every day.

During 2008, progress at The Duke was mostly visible on The Flats, the neighborhood’s four-story building of condos that offer the ease and convenience of single level living.

Today, progress on The Townhomes is equally visible. Much of the framing is complete on the first section of townhomes situated at corner of Duke Street and South Payne Street.

“The completion of The Duke will be historic on many levels,” said Laurie Shultz, Director of Sales and Marketing for Marquis Homes. “We’re the only new neighborhood of both townhomes and flats in the Historic District. This is also a reunion of sorts for our company. Marquis Homes is a member of the Van Metre Family of Companies, which was founded in Old Town Alexandria over a half century ago.”

Today’s townhomes and condos for sale in Alexandria attract homebuyers for many reasons—close proximity to the Beltway, convenience to major employment centers, and easy access to recreation. The Duke offers all of these and more, thanks to its premier location on Duke Street in Old Town’s Historic District.

Within easy walking distance of The Duke are Metro, Whole Foods Market, the Potomac River and over 17 blocks of shops, restaurants, galleries and historic attractions.

The Duke also offers homebuyers a tremendous advantage few other new townhomes and new condos for sale in Alexandria can—customizable floorplans for a limited time.

Buyers of The Flats can add a second owner’s suite, reconfigure the kitchen, or even combine two adjoining flats. Buyers of The Townhomes also have tremendous flexibility and are encouraged to contact The Duke’s Sales Manager to discuss their design possibilities.

The Duke’s Sales Center is located at 118 N. Fayette Street, just a few blocks away from the community site.

Townhomes at The Duke are now selling from the high $700’s. Flats are now selling from $599,900. For more information, visit TheDukeOldTown.com or call 703-837-0364.
