The Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH) is moving forward with a proposal it previewed to redevelop part of the Marbella Apartments. 

APAH has filed a zoning application to replace 72 units across a pair of low-rise apartment buildings at 1300 and 1305 N Pierce Street (map) with two 12-story buildings, delivering a total of 561 affordable units.
