Northwest One

MMD is part of the design team, with SK & I Architects, working with MRP Realty and CSG Urban, for the Northwest One project.  The plan calls for 806 units with retail on the site, bounded by North Capital Street, New York Avenue, New Jersey Avenue, and K Street, just blocks from the United States Capitol. The plan for development is part of D.C.’s New Communities Initiative, a D.C. government program with a vision of redeveloping neighborhoods into vibrant mixed-income communities, where residents have quality affordable housing options and economic opportunities.

Before receiving proposals, D.C. held community meetings, during which residents expressed a desire for family-sized units and neighborhood-serving retail.  The plan calls for larger units and for 67% of them to be designated as affordable. It also includes 57,000 sq.ft. of nonresidential space, which will be a combination of neighborhood-serving retail and community amenities.
