New renderings have been filed for the residential redevelopment of the Friendship Center in  Friendship Heights. 

Federal Realty recently submitted a modification to the approved planned unit development for the Friendship Center, which houses DSW, Maggiano's, Marshalls, and the former Nordstrom Rack space at 5333 Wisconsin Avenue NW (map). The documents filed with the DC Zoning Commission included new street-level and facade images of the redevelopment.

The plans call for a 310-unit residential development above 12,000 square feet of retail. Designed by Shalom Baranes and landscape architect Gustafson Guthrie Nichol, the building is expected to employ biophilic design principles like greening on balconies. Fifteen percent of the residential space will be affordable to households earning up to 60% of median family income.
