Station U&O

Project Challenges

"Parcel 42 has been gestating for over two decades and has finally come forth as an amazing example of beautiful, affordable, and healthy housing. Set at the gateway of the Shaw Arts District, Station U&O stands as an example of a creative public private partnership that maximizes the utilization of public land for the public benefit." 

-  Christopher E. Donald - Executive Director, DC Housing Finance Authority

With the lot being owned by the city and vacant for so long, this project had a multitude of challenges. Between an accelerated design phase, strict zoning requirements, and more, the team was able to handle anything thrown at them and still deliver a DAVIS quality project. Station U&O is not only a top-of-the-line luxury affordable housing unit, but it also earned certifications in Enterprise Green Communities, WELL®, and Energy Star, showcasing the expertise of our multi-family residential team!

Partnerships

"We engaged the community early and often, and we were able to incorporate the community’s feedback and vision. We delivered a project that we know residents are excited about." - D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser

Such a major undertaking wouldn't be possible without the support of our partners, H2 Design Build. As a full-service, turn-key company with the vision, expertise, and track record of delivering projects from inception to completion, their efforts made a huge impact from the preconstruction process to move-in day. H2's relationships with local, minority and underrepresented trade partners ensured the city and Shaw would be fully represented. Continuing to build meaningful relationships is at the core of our mission at DAVIS, and H2 has been a key contributor.

On top of our partners, Station U&O wouldn't be possible without collaboration with Dante's Partners, the Government of the District of Columbia, and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development.
