Project Description
Imagine strolling along tree-lined streets, shopping in trendy boutiques, dining at an outdoor cafe, and watching the July 4th fireworks on the National Mall from your living room. Now, image this and much more growing up from an empty lot at 9th and H Streets in the heart of downtown in Washington, DC.
