A redevelopment of community living in fast-growing Southeast, Washington, DC

In a joint venture with MED Developers, Equity Plus Managers LLC, and Housing Help Development LLC, Gilbane Development Company is developing Barnaby & 7th, a 470-unit affordable housing redevelopment to be constructed on a residential campus between and along 7th Street, SE and Barnaby Road, SE. The location is transit friendly, well-served by metro bus lines and major highways.

Project Overview

Existing 6.3-acre site contains 25 three-story garden style buildings comprised of 275 LIHTC apartment units originally constructed in 1952 and last renovated in 2002
470 affordable units to be developed in transit-friendly neighborhood, well-served by metro bus lines and major highways
The project will be developed over three phases, and will preserve existing tenants
- Phase I will include 231,370-SF consisting of 169-units (for households earning 30% AMI and 50% AMI), with a mix of 1-bedroom (68), 2-bedroom (49), 3-bedroom (44), and 4-bedroom (8) apartments, and 58 below-grade parking spaces to help satisfy parking for all three phases of the project. Phase I will also include the construction of a public road to advance municipal transit-oriented development policy and provide access to the parking garage.
- Phase II will include four buildings comprised of 224-units of affordable housing (for households earning 30% AMI and 50% AMI). One building, consisting of 70-units, will be set aside as site-based permanent supportive housing (PSH) and will leverage DC’s Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP) project-based rental assistance.
- Phase III will potentially include an additional 72-unit LIHTC rental project in townhouse style two-over-two units, or a 30–35-unit townhouse style homeownership project.
