(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development announced today the responses submitted for the development of three sites – Martin Luther King Avenue (MLK) Gateway, Parking Deck at 2nd and K Streets NW, and 1125 Spring Road NW. The proposals offer exciting options for mixed-use development and opportunities for more affordable housing, green and public space, and office, retail and job opportunities in the District.
“The high-level of interest in these development projects demonstrates that the private sector is eager to invest in, and be part of, the continued growth of the District of Columbia,” said Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Brian Kenner. “We look forward to reviewing the proposals to consider how we can create more affordable housing, support small business growth and employ more District residents.”
These projects were introduced at DMPED’s March Madness event earlier this year, an annual economic development showcase where the District announces upcoming community development projects.
