Location
Located in Columbia Heights, one of the city’s most culturally and economically diverse neighborhoods, this project introduces 150-plus market-rate and affordable housing units near Cardozo High School. On the site, a 1910s era apartment building will be restored and incorporated into a new, larger building with amenities such as underground parking, green roofs, and a penthouse social room. The exterior is designed with brick and cast stone to complement nearby existing buildings in the neighborhood. Approved by the DC Zoning Commission, this project is a Planned Unit Development and is currently under construction.
