SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Girard Street Apartments is a new 25 unit senior building located off Rhode Island Avenue in Northeast Washington, DC. The building is situated on a hilly site, allowing for access to a parking garage under the building at grade. This energy efficient building complies with Enterprise Green Communities, as well as DC’s new standards for the Green Area Ratio and storm water management. It was built to fit in with the single family residential neighborhood, despite being four stories tall, not including the garage. This building provides a home for seniors who make less than 30% of the Average Median Income in Washington, DC, meeting a vital need in the neighborhood. While providing housing would be enough for some, the Developer had greater aspirations in mind. By creating a modern building with first class amenities, such as floor to ceiling windows, granite countertops, and balconies, the residents are proud to live here as part of the neighborhood. In addition to the residential units, the building has a leasing office, a lounge with a fireplace, as well as a yoga studio overlooking a rear plaza and garden.
