Orr Partners took over redevelopment plans for the Arlington Boulevard and Fairfax Drive hotel in 2019, and hope to transform it into a condo building and hotel.

Orr Partners is hoping to rezone the hotel — which was built in the 1950s and formerly known as the Best Western Iwo Jima hotel — along with the Ellis Arms apartment next door.

Orr is proposing 443,947 square feet of residential apartments, a maximum of 446 units, in an 8-story multifamily building, complete with parking along Fairfax Drive.
