ALEXANDRIA, VA —Cooper Mill, a market, tavern, and event space housed in one of Old Town’s last waterfront warehouses, is now open at 10 Duke Street in Alexandria.
When two local power houses put their heads together, magic happens. Murray Bonitt of Bonitt Builders and Alexandria restaurateur, Noe Landini (Landini Brothers, The Junction Bakery, Fish Market, Pop’s Ice Cream), have combined their expertise in restoration and hospitality to breathe new life into an old warehouse space on the Alexandria waterfont.
“When Murray approached me with this opportunity, it was an easy decision,” Landini shared. “The building itself is remarkable, but when Murray shared his vision, I was immediately on board. Before long, we were sketching ideas on the back of a napkin, and things took off from there. Murray has an incredible talent for restoration, especially with timeless properties, and his creative approach to revitalizing them is truly inspiring. Taking a classic property full of charm and character and reimagining it for a modern purpose—that’s the Bonitt way, and I’m thrilled to be part of it.”
“We are honored to be working together on what I think is the last ‘gem’ on the waterfront,” Bonitt said. “This year marks 40 years I have been in business in Alexandria renovating old houses and buildings, and Noe’s family recently celebrated their 40th anniversary on King Street. I am thrilled to have Noe as a part owner and the operator of the space.”…
