Columbia Heights Revitalization


Washington, District of Columbia

The redevelopment of Columbia Heights, one of Washington’s oldest neighborhoods, has restored the community to its former vibrancy. Three projects, all clustered around the existing Metro station, animate 14th Street with new retail and residential activity.

Kenyon Square
This new high-rise apartment building contains 153 condominiums and a 75 unit affordable senior housing complex. Ground floor retail includes cafes with outdoor seating. The façade design features an eclectic mix of styles designed to animate the long street front.

Highland Park
This new high-rise building contains 229 apartment units and 19,000 square feet of ground floor retail. Inspired by the local Art Deco style, the structure makes a new piazza at the subway entrance and incorporates an existing Metro cooling tower in its facade.

Park Triangle
Adjacent to the historic Tivoli Theater, this new mid-rise building contains 18,000 square feet of retail and 131 apartment units, including efficiencies and lofts. The building’s bays, cornices and façade composition are inspired by the architecture of the adjacent historic Tivoli Theater and Riggs Bank.
