The 1322 O Street housing project consists of 58 microunit apartments with 1,300 SF of ground floor community space. 100% units will be affordable at low and very low income levels.
The project is a centrally located one block south of the State Capitol on an underutilized infill site with exceptional public transit accessibility, walkability, and proximity to jobs and services. 1322 O Street is one of the first projects under Executive Order (EO) N-06-19 for Affordable Housing Development, which prioritizes affordable housing development on excess State-owned property and pursuit of sustainable, innovative, and cost-effective construction methods. The Zero Net Energy (ZNE) building envelope will be constructed as a five-story Type-3B using cross-laminated timber for the horizontal components of the building. The project will be built on a concrete mat slab foundation.
