Sheridan Station is a 327-unit transit-oriented, mixed-income community near the Anacostia Metro Station in southeast DC. The $100 million investment, consisting of 247 rental and 80 homeownership units, is having a transformational effect on the area, demonstrating that affordable housing can be high quality and environmentally-friendly. A model of green design, Sheridan boasts a 104 kilowatt solar array, an advanced storm-water collection system, and is the first multifamily building in DC to be awarded LEED Platinum. The development partners overcame numerous challenges to complete the project, including topography that required a 70 foot tall retaining wall, the economic hardship of the recession, and complicated partnerships and financing structures.
