Department of Agriculture Building Redevelopment

Jair Lynch Real Estate Partners has plans in the works for a development that would deliver 498 apartments above 22,600 square feet of retail at the site of the former Department of Agriculture building at 899 Maine Avenue SW (map). The building will be 100-120 feet tall and will include 244 parking spaces and 110 long-term bicycle spaces.

Amenities will include a rooftop pool and a south-facing courtyard above the double-height retail. Fifteen percent of the residential space will be affordable at 60% of median family income (MFI), and the unit mix will span from studios to three-bedrooms. Perkins Eastman is the architect and Land Design is the landscape architect.

Disabled American Veterans Building Redevelopment

Mill Creek Residential is looking to replace the Disabled American Veterans building at 807 Maine Avenue SW (map) with 207 apartments above 5,585 square feet of retail. 

As designed by SK+I Architecture, the triangular project would be 11 stories tall plus a penthouse, and the double-height ground floor will be set back from the lot line to create space along 7th Street for a pocket park, public art, terraced seating, and potential outdoor dining.

The unit mix will likely span from studios to two-bedrooms with dens, and 15% of the residential space will be affordable to households earning up to 60% of MFI, with the exception of one or two units at 50% of MFI. Residential amenities will include a fitness center and a pool terrace, and there would also be up to 70 parking spaces on two below-grade levels along with 68 long-term bicycle spaces.
