Mosaic District is a neighborhood that defies all logic and expectations. In the 1990s, Merrifield was notable for its crumbling movie theatre and ample parking space. An enterprising development program spearheaded by Edens, a SC real estate company, has transformed what the New York Times called “a suburban wasteland” into a center of world-class dining, luxury residences, excellent city planning and chic shopping.
The neighborhood is centered around the Mosaic District development itself, which features 500,000 square feet of retail, 1,000 mostly luxury residences, renowned indie theatre Angelika Film Centre, and 73,000 square feet of office space. There’s also a park with a super-sized movie screen for public films which hosts countless community and cultural events. Shopping and dining is a carefully selected mixture of trendy chains and local boutiques that caters to all whims. Mosaic is also less than a mile from the Dunn Loring Metro Station and offers plenty of parking.
The transformation that Mosaic has undergone over the past decade is stunning. Residents who want to be on the forefront of one of the newest, trendiest, and most interesting neighborhoods in Virginia should look no further than Mosaic.
