(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Mayor Vincent C. Gray today announced the selection of Redbrick LMD-Gragg Cardona to redevelop the first phase of the historic St. Elizabeths East Campus, the largest redevelopment opportunity in the District.

“By opening the Gateway DC Pavilion and the R.I.S.E. Demonstration Center, we were able to reintroduce St. Elizabeths East to the community and lay the groundwork for what is possible on this historic campus,” said Mayor Gray. “By selecting a master developer, we can move even closer to realizing that vision and creating an innovative space that’s unlike any other in the District of Columbia.”

The Redbrick LMD-Gragg Cardona team was selected based on their experience with large-scale projects and the strength of their plan to fulfill the District’s policy goals at St. Elizabeths East. In addition to Redbrick and Gragg Cardona, members of the team are NVR, Inc., one of the District’s leading home builders; JBGR, an affiliate of The JBG Companies; and Perkins Eastman.

The St. Elizabeths East Campus spans 183 acres and is located at 2700 Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE. The first phase of development covers 1.6 million square feet and is in close proximity to the Congress Heights Metro Station. It offers an opportunity to create a technology-focused, transit-oriented community that includes business, research, higher education and residential uses in a collaborative environment.
