Dive summary:

• Vornado Realty Trust has the go-ahead it needed from Arlington County, Va., authorities for a 699-unit, 22-story apartment building in the Pentagon City complex just across the Potomac River from the nation's capital, and the final apartment complex would be the largest yet for the area.
• Vornado plans to put 40,413 square feet of retail on the ground floor, most of it in a grocery store, and does not have a timeline for construction yet but does have an architect, Maurice Walters Architect Inc.
• The board amended its development plan for the former warehouse district to allow for the building's height and gave Vornado permission to erase part of a planned street, and the developer is contributing to county funds for affordable housing, public art and putting utilities underground.
