Mayor Bowser to Break Ground on Capitol Vista, Delivering 3rd Affordable Housing Project in Mt. Vernon Area in Past 4 Months

Monday, September 24, 2018
Capitol Vista to Produce 104 Affordable Units in Amenity-Rich Neighborhood Close to Transit, Shopping, Job Centers, and More

(WASHINGTON, DC) – On Tuesday, September 25, at 12 pm, Mayor Bowser will break ground on Capitol Vista, a 104-unit affordable housing community in the amenity-rich Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood in Ward 6. This groundbreaking follows recent affordable housing announcements by Mayor Bowser in the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood, which include the grand opening of Plaza West, a 223-unit affordable housing community for seniors, families, and “grandfamilies,” and a groundbreaking on Liberty Place, an affordable housing project which will deliver permanent supportive housing units for those experiencing homelessness and units for veterans.

Vista will be a 100 percent affordable community with 3,000 square feet of ground floor retail and space for public art. All 104 of the new residential units will be set aside for households earning up to 50 percent of the median family income (MFI) or $58,600 for a family of four.

This groundbreaking is part of #RootstoRoofs Housing Week, a series of events highlighting the Bowser Administration’s progress in creating and preserving affordable housing options across the District. The variety of options showcases the Mayor’s commitment to providing all Washingtonians a fair shot and a pathway to the middle class.
