AFFORDABLE HOUSING, GREEN DESIGN: A DIFFERENT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT IN PETWORTH

Doing things a little differently, LaKritz/Adler is planning a 105,000 SF building at 3600 Georgia Ave. NW in Petworth. The $40 million mixed-use development, dubbed the Renaissance, will feature 105 affordable condos in addition to 20,000 SF of retail space. Work will begin next year with a 2009 completion date.



"Designed by award-winning architect Eric Colbert, Renaissance will showcase the best of today's environmentally conscience building materials and aims to set a new standard for sustainable large-scale development in Washington, DC," said a press release.
