Harris Teeter Marching On Washington

North Carolina upstart Harris Teeter continues to build on its foothold in the Washington area with a slew of supermarkets in the works.

Just last week, developer Forest City Washington named the grocer as one of seven new retailers signed on at its sprawling mixed-use project on the District’s Southeast waterfront, the Yards. Once the grocery store is completed in 2013, customers can cruise the aisles and head to the sushi bar, gourmet deli or wine section.

Within days of Forest City’s news, Buchanan Partners announced that the Alexandria City Council had approved plans for a 174-unit apartment complex anchored by a 52,000-square-foot-Harris Teeter. Located in the city’s Old Town North section, the development is slated to break ground in the first quarter of 2012.
