Paxton
Paxton is a 159,617 sf, multi-family building that will be home to 148, 100% affordable units, contributing to the production of much-needed affordable housing in Washington DC’s Ward 7. The 5,300 sf of amenity space will be a valuable asset to engage and nurture a healthy and active community. Along with these active spaces, the design of the building accommodates dedicated program space for the Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) provider and Community of Hope to facilitate its ongoing support of the families residing in the units set aside for PSH. The project provides an opportunity to extend the rapid development of the H Street Corridor eastward along Benning Road. It also provides immediate access to the dynamic retail amenities of H Street and the recently completed streetcar, which provides walkable access to Metro via Union Station.
Foulger Pratt is committed to contributing to the housing crisis across the country and the delivery of Paxton in Spring 2024 will be an exciting addition to a neighborhood and community in desperate need of high-quality housing made available at a reduced market-rate.
