Station U & O

Station U & O prioritizes sustainability with certifications in Enterprise Green Communities and Energy Star compliance for Multifamily New Construction. The building incorporates state-of-the-art amenities such as a fitness center, grand double-height lobby, dedicated work-from-home spaces, and a chic clubroom with an outdoor terrace. Stormwater management systems on the terrace not only meet regulatory requirements but also enhance the building's green features, creating a harmonious blend of urban living and natural beauty.

The building rises 11 stories high and houses 110 units, featuring Studio, One-, and Two-bedroom apartments, complemented by a Retail space transformed to house a tenant from the Arts + Creative field, fostering a creative community hub. Its exterior is adorned with a sophisticated metal panel system that emulates the warmth of wood, arranged in a dynamic, wave-like pattern. High-efficiency casement windows framed in sleek black not only enhance the building's aesthetic but also contribute to energy efficiency.

Despite facing challenges like an accelerated design phase and zoning requirements for setbacks, Station U & O successfully navigated complexities to deliver a masterpiece of modern living. The project's commitment to blending artistic expression with contemporary comforts sets a new standard for affordable multifamily developments in Washington, DC, offering residents an unparalleled living experience in a vibrant urban setting.

Key to Station U & O's design are its green roofs integrated into each floor's stepped-back eastern side. These verdant terraces echo the wave motif of the façade, offering unique outdoor spaces for residents to enjoy. The penthouse includes a walk-out terrace connected to the clubroom, providing panoramic views of the downtown skyline and featuring innovative stormwater management systems that sustain lush planters.

Station U & O stands as a cutting-edge, mixed-use high-rise in Washington, DC’s Shaw neighborhood, strategically positioned at the bustling intersection of 7th and R Street NW directly across from the Shaw Metro Station and Shaw Library. It ensures exceptional connectivity and fosters vibrant community engagement, setting a new standard for affordable multifamily living with its innovative design, sustainable features, and community-focused amenities.
