Holes in the Ground, Cranes in the Sky In the next decade, a dead mall will turn into a vibrant new hospital, some office buildings may become apartments, and all sorts of old spaces will find new uses. Alexandria Living Magazine has been tracking dozens of new developments across the City of Alexandria and Southeast Fairfax County. To help you keep track of what’s going on, we’ve created an interactive online map tracking more than 50 construction projects. The map is updated monthly and is accessible at alexandrialivingmagazine.com/ development.
