'New Retail Concept' Coming To Rosslyn

ARLINGTON, VA -- The Rosslyn Business Improvement District is trying out a new retail concept soon: a 4,000-square-foot pop-up "experiential" retail store called "The Alcove."

The Alcove will be located at Rosslyn's Central Place residential building and will open Aug. 8 and run through September. It will be open from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and will host Turning the Page, a local nonprofit that sells high-quality used books and DVDs, and additional vendors, like Etsy online sellers, according to a statement.

There will also be "experiences" at the retail concept, like musical performances, DIY workshops, fitness classes, and author readings.

The Alcove is being built with support from JBG Smith, DAVIS Construction, Gensler, streetsense, and Capitol Drywall.

Central Place is located at the corner of 19th and N. Moore streets.

"Built with the collaboration of architecture, placemaking and construction experts, this space was designed to accommodate unique experiences for the community," states the website. "From shopping for books, local products and baked goods to attending concerts, DIY classes and story time, there is something for everyone."
