The project, which replaces a pair of city-owned surface parking lots located at 4600 and 4601 Washington Boulevard, will consist of two four-story buildings containing a combined total of 56 apartments - including 20 units for formerly homeless families and individuals and 35 units for low-income families.
Designed by Y&M Architects, the Washington Arts Collective will include a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, in addition to ground-floor gallery and rehearsal space, courtyards, meeting rooms, music rooms, and parking for 100 vehicles. Renderings depict the finished product as a pair of contemporary low-rise structures clad in brick.
Funding for the Washington Arts Collective includes tax credit equity, bonds, Measure HHH funds, and No Place Like funds, contributing to a total estimated price tag of $38.5 million.
