The Highline

WASHINGTON, DC–Federal Capital Partners is investing in The Highline, a $100 million apartment-retail project being developed in Union Market by Level 2 and Clark Enterprises. The community, located at 320 Florida Ave., NE, will consist of 318 luxury apartment units and four penthouse units as well as 10,000 square feet of first floor retail space.

The investment was made under FCP's recently-closed FCP Realty Fund III, a $512.1 million equity pool targeting commercial properties and structured opportunities throughout the Eastern US. When it closed in October 2016, it had 20 investments committing $332.4 million of fund equity for a total value of $1.1 billion under its belt.

Level 2 and Clark Construction began construction on the site, which was originally a Burger King, last year, Level 2 Principal David Franco told GlobeSt.com in an earlier interview from 2016. Level 2 is a major developer in this submarket with several projects underway.

FCP has also invested in Level 2's Takoma Central, a mixed-use building with 150 apartments and Busboys & Poets as the ground floor retail anchor, which is located next to the Takoma Metro Station.

The Highline at Union Market is located one block from the NoMa/Gallaudet Red Line Metro Station.

United Bank and EB5 Capital provided construction financing for the project. MAC Realty Advisors secured the development financing. The 12-story building was designed by Eric Colbert & Assoc.

The project was approved with an affordability component. There will also be 13 three-bedroom townhomes built in Ward 5 that are to be set aside for households earning no more than 50% of the area median income. Also, 4% of The Highline's units will be set aside for households earning no more than 80 percent of the area median income.
