WASHINGTON, DC-Ground has broken on the development of Highland Park, a mixed-use condominium project. Donatelli & Klein, Gragg & Associates and the National Capital Revitalization Corp. are behind the project, which serves as yet another big step toward the renaissance of the Columbia Heights community. The tab for the development will be an estimated $87 million.

Situated atop the Columbia Heights Metro Station, Highland Park carries the address of 1400 Irving St. NW and is located within several blocks of Howard University and the Washington Hospital Center. The condominium is designed by the architectural firm of Torti Gallas and Partners, and will feature 229 units, 30% of which will be reserved as affordable housing for households earning varying levels of the area median income.

The residential element, however, is just part of the package. Highland Park will also feature 22,000 sf of ground-level retail space, as well as an underground parking facility to accommodate 222 vehicles.
