LEO A DALY to design Alexandria, Virginia City Hall and public space

International design firm LEO A DALY has been selected to design a complete renovation of the Alexandria, Virginia City Hall as well as the nearby public space known as Market Square.

The current City Hall, built in 1871, is a great source of community pride and serves as a workplace for more than 300 City employees. After many years of service, major updates are needed throughout City Hall to repair aging building components, improve operating systems, optimize space utilization, improve building circulation and wayfinding, enhance security, and facilitate community engagement.

“The City Hall and Market Square renovation presents an opportunity to reimagine and capitalize on the growth and increased density that Alexandria is experiencing,” said LEO A DALY Design Principal Irena Savakova. The creation of a community commons – an open, inclusive, secure and inviting urban living room center of gravity tying into the momentum of the development of King Street – presents an opportunity for placemaking in an urban context that will enrich the lives of all who live in Alexandria or who frequent Old Town.”

Design is anticipated through early 2026, with construction taking place 2026-2028.

“This is an exciting first step in a long-awaited process,” City Manager James Parajon said. “City Hall and Market Square should reflect this great city, our history, and the commitment to equitable services that our community expects. We look forward to reimagining how to ensure 301 King Street is a source of pride for our employees and residents.”
