Eastern Market
Completed in 2018 - 550,000SF - $140MM
The Hine Junior High School redevelopment is located at 700 Pennsylvania, Ave, SE, DC and consists of four buildings: 700 Penn, The Residences at Eastern Market and 770 C Street. 700 Penn is a Class A office building. The Residences at Eastern Market is a two building luxury rental project and 770 C Street is a LIHTC-subsidized affordable housing building. All four buildings have ground floor retail components, and the office and market-rate residential buildings share a 352-space garage podium.
The Residences at Eastern Market offers an extensive community benefits package, including the mitigation of unsuitable soil conditions, the removal of an underground storage tank, as well as the reopening of C Street to the historic L’Enfant grid, which is utilized by the neighborhood farmers market on the weekends.
Three of the building projects encircled a lush, planted courtyard and the property features over an acre of green roofs. The green roofs, along with additional stormwater retention infrastructure, contributed to the LEED Gold standards accomplished by the project.
The historic design review process drove the design towards a larger than normal variety of façade types. The project used brick, precast, curtainwall, and terracotta, employing a total of 7 types of façade materials across the 4 buildings.
Careful budget management drove the use of a concrete pedestal with wood frame structure for the affordable component while the market rate product was all post-tensioned concrete.
