A brief is a short version of a case study.
City Market at O is a 3.5-acre development on two city blocks in the heart of Washington, D.C.’s historic Shaw neighborhood. Home to the only grocery store in the neighborhood, the development features multifamily rental housing, senior housing, retail and restaurants, open spaces, and a hotel. In the 19th century, the site accommodated a public market, which City Market at O seeks to emulate. City Market at O blends seamlessly into its walkable neighborhood, giving its residents access to many amenities within the development along with easy access to downtown, nearby restaurants, and the Metro. Through a mix of private and public financing, City Market at O has been able to draw together many different interests in this project, propelling a course of redevelopment in this once-struggling neighborhood. A working partnership with the community during the planning phase helped ensure that the project would properly serve existing neighbors while drawing new residents to both its luxury and affordable housing offerings. The dialogue between developers and neighbors on City Market at O resulted in a new development that reinvigorated a historic neighborhood.
