About the Ladrey Rehabilitation Project
The Ladrey rehabilitation project will occur under the joint leadership of the Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority (ARHA), WinnDevelopment, and IBF Development, a M/BE and Virginia SWaM-certified firm.
Expected to begin late in 2026, the renovation effort will deliver a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and enhanced on-site amenities by reconfiguring current floor plans and making more efficient use of the building's footprint.
The array of additional improvements are expected to include:
-
New bathroom and kitchen fixtures, appliances and cabinetry
-
New windows, flooring and entry doors
-
A new roof
-
New plumbing and electrical lines throughout the building
-
An upgraded building façade
-
New elevators
-
High-efficiency heating and cooling systems for better comfort and improved ventilation
-
Modern accessibility standards throughout the property, including apartments, common areas, amenities, sidewalks and parking areas
-
Upgraded interior and exterior lighting
-
Strengthened security features
-
Improved courtyard amenities and landscaping
-
Renovated common areas to deliver new resident services and programming
-
Renovated laundry rooms
When the renovated building opens, Connected Communities, the non-profit social impact arm of WinnCompanies, will employ a full-time, on-site community coordinator who will work with non-profit partners in the Alexandria area to give Ladrey residents access to a full roster of community-based, supportive services. Alongside its strong and dedicated community partners and the Ladrey Tenant Association, Connected Communities team will support the evolving needs of the community across six core outcome areas: Housing Stability, Employment, Education, Health, Economic Mobility, and Community Engagement.
