Local Notes

When the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office moved from Crystal City to Alexandria in 2006, it brought more than 8,000 employees and nearly 700 visitors a day to a new five-building $2.5 million campus.

Since the establishment of the patent office, an array of related professional service companies, -- notably intellectual property law firms -- have relocated to the Carlyle area. It is also home to the U.S. Attorney's office and the U.S. District Court for the eastern District of Virginia.

Carlyle District in Old Town Alexandria VA

Carlyle District

The Carlyle District is a 76.5 acre development in Old Town Alexandria. The district includes a complex of offices, hotels and retail space anchored by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as condo communities such as Carlyle Towers.

Living and Working in the Carlyle District

The Carlyle District is named for John Carlyle, a Scottish merchant who was a founding trustee and the first overseer of Alexandria, Virginia. Ultimately, it will comprise more than 7 million square feet of office, hotel, residential, and retail space. The 76.5-acre tract is designed to be a vibrant, walkable area with an atmosphere that reflects adjacent Old Town but with a modern urban flair. It is designated a Coordinated Design/Development District (CDD), meaning design and development standards are already in place for an allocated 7 million square feet of office, hotel, residential, and retail space, allowing for faster approval of final plans.

Jamieson Condos


The JamiesonThe Jamieson is located near the heart of Alexandria VA's Carlyle District. The United States Patent and Trademark Office is right around the corner, as is the Albert V. Bryan U.S. Courthouse. The Carlyle District is home to respected and admired developments like Carlyle Towers and the Royalton. The Jamieson fits in nicely with the brick high-rises of the Carlyle District, but the Jamieson is also uniquely different from other nearby condos and homes.

The Jamieson differs from neighboring condos because it's the only condo in the 22314 zip code that is situatued atop a hotel. That's right: the Jamieson is sited directly atop the Westin Alexandria Hotel. And this unique setting confers a number of distinct advantages.
