Fairfax, Va -- With 104 of 144 condominium homes sold in 2021, The Flats at Boulevard VI outsold every other new residential community in the Washington DC metropolitan area, achieving 72 percent sold status many months ahead of the first delivery of homes this fall. The Flats' four stories and luxurious homes and amenities are part of the new mixed-use community The IDI Group Companies (IDI) are redeveloping on a site formerly occupied by both Paul VI and Fairfax High Schools, as well as George Mason University.

"We're giving buyers great floor plans and the freedom of condominium living in an outstanding location in terms of both convenience and cache," said IDI Executive Vice President Enrico Cecchi. "We anticipated a lot of early interest, but actually ended up opening our Phase II sales even earlier than we'd expected to accommodate the demand we've seen," added Project Manager Patrick Rhodes, Jr., "and that steady pace continued through the second half of the year."

IDI is developing Boulevard VI on 18.5 acres of land owned by the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, and The Flats is one of the components of the community to be developed. Phase One will produce 73 condominium homes and is scheduled to be completed in fall 2022; while Phase Two will produce 71 homes and is slated to be done by year's end. Construction is proceeding on schedule with Phase I already under roof with the windows installed.
