Arlington redevelopment: Turning old office buildings into apartments

A developer wants to transform the former FBI headquarters, two office buildings and neighboring property in Arlington into 779 apartments.

The closed former Offshore Power Systems buildings are part of a 16.2-acre site along the south side of the Arlington Expressway that a developer wants to convert into apartments. The property is about 5 miles east of Downtown.

A 16.2-acre site along the south side of the Arlington Expressway best known for its former identities as Jim’s Place, the FBI headquarters and Offshore Power Systems is fenced off and under redevelopment for housing.

The former FBI building is under extensive renovation, while the two other office buildings, still labeled Three Oaks Plaza, are vacant and extensively vandalized with graffiti and broken and missing windows.

Jim’s Place is closed and likely will be demolished, based on the site plan.
