DCHA Headquarters Redevelopment

NoMa

The DC Housing Authority sold the ground lease for its headquarters at 1133 North Capitol Street NE in 2022, paving the way for a three-phase development that could eventually deliver up to 1,100 residential units. MRP Realty, CSG Urban Partners, and Taylor Adams Associates are part of the development team. The Iris, a 13-story, 430-unit building, was the first to deliver in 2025. As for what comes next: the land associated with Phases 2 and 3 was to be leased back to DCHA for approximately 42 months after the 2022 closing, after which those parcels could be put into development. That leaseback period would have concluded around late 2025, but no groundbreaking announcement for Phase 2 or Phase 3 has emerged as of this spring.
