DC's Historic Preservation Office (HPO) is recommending the Review Board (HPRB) approve the concept for a condo and townhome development at The Parks At Walter Reed. But aside from some minor changes, it is a concept that was approved a few years ago. 

Back in 2022, the Board granted approval for a proposal from Toll Brothers for a project with 47 townhomes and 96 condos on Parcels A-G on the northern edge of the Walter Reed campus (map). However, Toll Brothers ultimately decided not to move forward with developing the parcels. 

So earlier this year, Urban Atlantic and NV Homes filed slightly revised plans for the development, with EHT Traceries helming the design revisions. 

The layout and unit count will be virtually unchanged from the Toll Brothers proposal. There will be 47 townhouses fronting Fern, 12th and 13th Streets, and 96 condominiums will be stacked two-over-two arranged in rows along Elder Street and Georgia Avenue. The design changes largely focus on making the homes more compatible with the other residential projects at Walter Reed. 

"The applicant has applied here similar classical revival details that the Board has approved at other townhouses at the south end of campus," HPO staff wrote. "HPO recommends that the Board approve the revised concept, seeks any thoughts on further revisions needed, and to delegate final approval to staff."
