Torti Gallas and Partners was part of the winning competitive redevelopment team of the Old Wax Museum site at 5th and K Streets, NW in downtown Washington, DC. The project was advertised and awarded through the RLA Revitalization Corporation (RLARC).

The development team was led by Lowe Enterprises Mid-Atlantic, Inc., and includes CIM Urban Real Estate Fund LP, a California-based pension fund, Bundy Development Corporation, Neighborhood Development Company and Michael Marshall Architecture, collaborating architect.

The new development includes a Safeway store with a Starbucks coffee shop, dry cleaner and bank; retail space, condominium and apartment units, 20% of which are set-aside as affordable housing; and parking.

Located in the Mount Vernon Triangle area of the city, CityVista is a major building block in the city’s plans to attract new residents and create a vibrant city life near the new Washington Convention Center.
