2 New Retail Tenants Coming To Heming Development Near McLean Metro

MCLEAN, VA — Two new retail tenants will soon be opening in the ground floor of the Heming, a 6.5 million-square-foot mixed-use project at the foot of the McLean Metro Station, according to the development and construction firm Skanska.

Sunday Morning Bakehouse will be located adjacent to Heming's residential lobby and Apparati Wellness Studio will open in a 3,700-square-foot space on Platform Avenue.

“We are delighted to have two new local retailers join our growing neighborhood and cannot wait for our community to experience first-class wellness at Apparati Wellness Studio and an all-day community gathering spot like Sunday Morning Bakehouse,” said Mark Carroll, executive vice president and regional manager of Skanska USA Commercial Development’s D.C. market. “Both concepts align with our vision of Heming becoming a true live-work-play destination in this area.”

Following on its initial success at Pike & Rose in North Bethesda, Sunday Morning Bakehouse, a family and female-owned bakery, expects to open its second store and first location in Northern Virginia in winter 2024. The bakery specializes in handmade croissants, seasonal breads and pastries, and special occasion cakes made with high-quality ingredients.

“My goal in creating Sunday Morning Bakehouse was to provide a place for people to come and have a moment of peace whether it's catching up with a friend over a cup of coffee and fresh croissant or having lunch outside of the office,” said Caroline Yi, chef and owner of Sunday Morning Bakehouse. “I wanted people to know where their food was coming from and know that their bread and pastries were baked fresh that day. We're excited to expand into Northern Virginia and provide the same amazing food people know and love to a new community.”

Apparati will offer cutting-edge technologies like AI, machine-learning and real-time data feedback at 20 different fitness/training and wellness modalities and treatment stations.

“Never before has anyone been able to offer so many wellness and mindfulness technologies under one roof,” said Ochkhuu “O” Batsukh, Apparati COO and general manager. “Maximizing the latest hi-tech and drawing on Eastern relaxation and recovery methodologies, Apparati is truly unlike anything out there.”

Sunday Morning Bakehouse and Apparati will join Modan and Body Fit Training, which already occupies part of Heming's 38,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space. The building also includes 410 apartment units, ranging from studios to three bedrooms, all located steps away from Metro's Silver line.
