Hecht Reveals Plan
For New S6 Million
Store in Arlington

A new $6 million Hecht Co. de-
partment store Is to be built in
Arlington on an 1S-acre tract
bounded by North Glebe road,
Wilson boulevard and Randolph
street.
Plans for the building were dis
closed last night when part of
the site was rezoned by the County
Board. The coming classification
was changed from local CONNER
cial to general commercial, which
will permit q building height Of
80 feet.
The Hecht Co. has options on
various properties that will become
part Of the site. John E. De Lash
mutt, Arlington contractor, owns
one OF the largest tracts involved.
To Be Ready in 1851.
Attorney Lawrence Douglas,
who represented the department
store at the hearing. said it was
generally known the company had
options on the land, although most
property agreements were between
the landowners and agents. The
agents, in turn, have signed the
options over to The Hecht Co.
Charles B. Dulcan, ST., said
construction would start as soon
as possible 50 the building can be
ready by the fall of 1851. Although
architectural plans have not been
finished, the company estimates
its new building will have about
$50, 900 square feet Of floor space.
It is expected to be patterned
after the firms Silver Spring
store. The company plans to
reserve parking space for about
1000 cars.
The site is about mile north
Of the Clarendon business district.
Mr.. Dulcan said there was enough
land in the area for other busi-
nesses to move in. He predicted
the new department store would
stimulate commercial development
Of the area. He recalled that 20
large business Arms opened
branches near the Hecht Co. In
Silver Spfing.
No Large Stores Near Site.
There are no large stores near
the site. A gasoline station, garage
and a few houses will have to be
removed to make way for the new
building.
Location of the building at
Glebe road and Wilson boulevard
makes 1t accessible by direct
routes from Alexandria and most
OF Arlington.
MIR. Dulcan said the new store
would have every department that
the washington store has.
This will be no branch store
In the accepted sense Of the
word" said Mr.. Dulcan, but a
thoroughly complete retail insti-
tuition"
