1 K Street

WC Smith has a 352-unit apartment building in the works at 1 K Street SW (map). The building, designed by WDG Architecture, will front South Capitol Street and sit a few blocks north of Nationals Park. 

The top and bottom of the new project will be devoted to building amenity spaces. The penthouse level will include outdoor terraces and lounge areas, while the western portion of the roof will have a dog park and play area. A swimming pool and pool deck will be located on the upper penthouse level. A two-story jewel box lobby on South Capitol Street will open to a pair of courtyards, as well as amenity space that will feature coworking areas, a lounge, a fitness area, and a rather cool and rare amenity: a podcast/piano studio.

A community dog park will be constructed between the two buildings and a garden with native plants will be located to the east of the 281-unit building.

The project, designed by SK+I Architecture with landscape design by OCULUS Landscape Architects, will have 385 parking spaces, and approximately 60 of the apartments will be set aside for those earning 60% of median family income.
