The Parker

"The Parker is a true win for the neighborhood where the luxury style and quality of housing has been in demand for years," said John Begert, principal at MRP. "CBG is an asset to both MRP and the project, continually hitting the finish line ahead of schedule with a solid, highly sustainable project immediately adjacent to the Huntington Metro station. We look forward to partnering together on future projects."

The amenity-rich community features a full fitness center with yoga studio and indoor golf simulation room, outdoor dog park with drinking fountain, indoor pet spa, two courtyards, a pool, a bocce court, and a walking trail with outdoor fitness stations.

The Parker is located less than a half mile from the Huntington Metro Station, which provides immediate access to Old Town Alexandria, downtown Washington, D.C., the Pentagon, Reagan National Airport, and the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor via the Yellow and Blue Lines. The Parker's Huntington Avenue address also provides residents with easy access by car to the District's major roadways, the Capital Beltway, and the George Washington Parkway.

"We are proud to partner with MRP Realty again to deliver this sustainable, transit-oriented community to the Alexandria market," said Keith Anderson, president of CBG. "Successful completion of The Parker is thanks to years of collaboration and hard work."

Targeting LEED certification, The Parker consumes 13 percent less energy than conventional apartments and features a variety of environmentally friendly amenities including bicycle routes and storage, and walkways for energy-efficient transportation. CBG recycled more than 75 percent of construction waste and used recycled and regionally manufactured materials throughout construction.

CBG's first project for MRP Realty is the Alric, a 323-unit luxury apartment community also located in Alexandria.
