ALEXANDRIA, VA Alexandria officials and development partners announced plans Tuesday to advance a development that will include an Inova medical campus.
The joint venture of Foulger-Pratt, The Howard Hughes Corporation, and Seritage Growth announced the initial agreement with the City of Alexandria and Inova Health System for the 4 million-square-foot community. The proposed development would turn the vacant mall into a mixed-use walkable area anchored by the Inova medical campus.

Mindy’s has reinvented their catering business and now delivers seventy-five percent of their home dinners to Alexandria and N. Arlington.
Erin White has just returned from delivering 50 boxed chicken kabobs, couscous salad and cornbread lunches to hospital workers at Inova Alexandria Hospital on Nov. 17. She says the hospitals are suddenly busy again with COVID patients, and the workers are so glad to be recognized and to have a good meal.
Erin and her husband Bobby White, who live in Del Ray, own Mindy’s, a catering company based in D.C. in the Palisades. They have dramatically switched gears since the pandemic hit in March. She says, “It was as if someone turned off the faucet. All of the offices who ordered lunch, all the events were suddenly gone.” They had just bought out their partners in the business six months before COVID hit. “After 19 years we were ready to start a new era.”
