The 4-story building is well situated along St. Barnabas Road with excellent accessibility to nearby shopping and transit, while backing up to a wooded area and stream. Green design features include Energy Star appliances, efficient individual HVAC units and low VOC materials for improved indoor air quality. Amenities include a two-story club room, library, fitness center, putting green, community garden and greenhouse.

The development was financed using a HUD 221(d)4 loan through AGM Financial with Wells Fargo; Maryland CDA Tax Exempt Bond Financing in coordination with Stifel; CDA Rental Housing Works; Prince George’s County DHCD HOME funding and PILOT; San Francisco FHLB AHP grant and low income housing tax credit equity through Hudson Housing Capital, with Capital One as the investor.
