Life Time opened an athletic country club in Arlington, VA, on July 14. The development also is home to Life Time Work, the company’s co-working destination, which will open on July 17. Combined, the new destination makes Life Time a main anchor at The Crossing Clarendon, the multi-block stretch of mixed-use development with shops, restaurants and offices owned by Regency Centers.
Life Time Clarendon marks the Company’s eleventh athletic county club destination and the debut of Life Time Work in the Greater Washington D.C./ Baltimore area. The development spans 113,000 square feet over four floors, including 85,000 square feet for the athletic club and 28,000 square feet dedicated to Life Time’s premium coworking spaces.
“Life Time at The Clarendon Crossing is the ideal location for us as our expansion continues across key markets while also reinforcing our asset-light growth strategy,” said Parham Javaheri, Life Time’s chief property development officer. “As a result of our unique, flexible design capabilities and partnership with Regency Centers, we took what was intended to be a small, fitness-only offering and expanded our presence to create a space that features our full Life Time experience, including Life Time Work, to become a true anchor. We expect Life Time to be the heart of this development and bustling area.”
“Life Time really was the perfect choice for this location,” said Andrew Kabat, senior vice president and senior market officer for Regency Centers. “Their forward-thinking approach to their athletic club and co-working members means they will be staples of this community for a long time. As long-term owners and operators, we place a high value on being reflective of our surroundings and meeting the needs of our neighbors. Life Time checks all the right boxes and enhances the destination as a result.”
Life Time owns and operates four clubs in Maryland, including Annapolis, Columbus, Gaithersburg, and Rockville, along with six clubs in Virginia, including Centreville, Fairfax, Gainesville, Loudon County, Reston, and Sterling. Life Time operates 165 athletic country clubs in the U.S. and Canada.
