The new Pierce condominium tower continues to dominate the Arlington luxury residential market. Pierce has sold 15 residences above $1,200 a square foot, the top of the Arlington luxury condominium market.
“We are selling to an interesting mix of demographics,” said Ross Mayhood, sales manager at Pierce.
“As possibly the finest new building in Virginia, we are seeing downsizing empty nesters from Arlington and Fairfax counties as well as from Montgomery County and even from Washington, D.C.,” Mayhood said.“With Washington so close by, a good number of relocating couples and singles, notably from Florida, Texas and Seattle, have purchased homes at Pierce, in proximity to Amazon’s new HQ2 development.”
Pierce offers residents 180-degree views from its 25th floor social room and from the expansive rooftop terrace with grilling stations and dining nooks.
Whatever their perspective, new residents say they are thrilled to live and enjoy Pierce, a striking addition to the area skyline. On a clear day they can see forever – or at least across the Potomac River to downtown Washington, to the Washington National Cathedral, to Georgetown and even to Sugarloaf Mountain. And for the annual 4th of July fireworks on the Washington Mall, they have a front-row seat.
“This is a property that practically sells itself,” Mayhood adds.
Mayhood noted that Pierce has the perfect location: ease of access to Georgetown and downtown Washington, close to shops, restaurants, employment centers and just blocks to Key Bridge and Metro,Residents can take Metro for short trips to Reagan National Airport, the Washington Nationals baseball stadium, the Pentagon and Amazon’s new HQ2 headquarters. “This location is truly unbeatable,” he said.
At the Pierce sales gallery, Mayhood Company sales staff have sold 67 of the 104 residences at prices ranging from $1 million to more than $3 million.
Capitalizing on the expansive views, renowned architect Hickock Cole designed Pierce with an open, contemporary flair, which is reflected in the large and livable floor plans, among the roomiest in the marketplace. The living and dining areas are awash in natural lighting, with their floor-to-ceiling windows. Private balconies, spacious dens and oversized, walk-in closets underscore the expansive, spacious feeling. The overall effect is stylish, yet comfortable.
Culinary buffs enjoy Pierce’s chef-inspired kitchens with its custom lacquered cabinets by Snaidero, oversized islands, quartz countertops and built-in wine refrigerators. Appliances are stainless steel by Thermador and energy-efficient dishwashers by Bosch. Bathrooms have heated floors, large spa-like showers, Seura vanity lighting and fixtures by Kohler and Brizo.
Arriving in the lofty marble-floored lobby, residents (and their pets) enjoy 24/7 white glove concierge services, a club room, a two-story fitness center with Mirror technology, a conference room and reserved, underground garage parking. About half the residences have direct-access elevators, enabling residents to travel directly from garage parking to their own homes.
When residents or visitors linger in the lobby, they will discover a curated collection of 15 unique artistic pieces, all created by women-identifying artists. Supporting women-only artists is an initiative by the developer, Pierce Highlands, LLC., the Washington-based developer of the property.
“We are as proud of sponsoring this special cultural aspect of Pierce and supporting women artists as we are of creating these beautiful new condominium homes,” said the developer. “And as a finished ‘work of art,’ we believe Pierce stands tall as the premier property in Northern Virginia.”
