PR 20-85, if approved, would extend the disposition of certain District owned real property located at 1421 Euclid Street, NW, and known as Justice Park. First approved for disposition on April 5, 2011, the developer and DMPED anticipated that the project predevelopment phase would be completed within the statutorily allotted two year period.

On September 1, 2012, the Developer was selected for further consideration of 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits by the DC Department of Housing and Community Development. Upon receipt of the conditional funding commitment, the Developer completed construction documents and now awaits the approval of building permits. In addition, the Developer has submitted, and is also awaiting approval of the District’s Environmental Impact Screening Form. The approvals are expected in the coming months after which the Developer is prepared to break ground.
