The second phase of development consists of 80 for-sale townhomes and condominiums. The first 18 to be completed have been sold and settled with the next 20 under construction and pre-sold. Phase three will consist of an additional 133 multifamily units. Earlier this year the project was named Multifamily Development of the Year by the Washington Business Journal. The project has also just recently received the U.S. Green Building Council’s Project of the Year Award for the Homes Award of Excellence. The redevelopment of the garden apartments in the Carver Langdon neighborhood at 2100 Maryland Avenue, NE is significant in the lives of those residents who have long called this neighborhood home as well as for the preservation of affordable hous- ing. The renovation work performed by WCS Construction, LLC with design by EDG Architects for owner WC Smith Companies and its development partners will provide 408 units of housing for residents with incomes below 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The newly renovated apartments have energy efficient appliances and a new washer and dryer in every home. Fairway Park also now offers several other amenities for their long-standing residents to enjoy: a community center, a newly-renovated playground, a community garden and an office space for the Advisory Neighbor- hood Commission 5D.
