Oslo is a nine-unit multifamily rental apartment development on a central-city infill site in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The project has been positioned to appeal to recent college graduates and millennials who want to share a large apartment as a preferable and cost-effective alternative to renting a studio or one-bedroom unit. The building offers three units with three bedrooms and six units with four bedrooms, with typical unit sizes ranging from 970 square feet to 1,410 square feet.
