Active Build Sites

Constitution Avenue

  • Location: Constitution Ave. NE Washington, D.C. 20002
  • Project Dates: Started February 2023
  • Specs: 2 condominiums

In 2022, Habitat DC received a generous donation of a two-story walk-up row home in Capitol Hill. The property will be turned into two condominiums for a household earning 60%-80% AMI. We look forward to building in Ward 6 and providing two families with an opportunity to purchase their first home.

55th Street

  • Location: 55th St NE, District of Columbia
  • Project Dates: Started February 2023 
  • Specs: 17 3bd/2ba townhome duplexes 

Habitat DC-NOVA has deep ties to the Deanwood neighborhood of Northeast DC. We began building in Deanwood in 2004, completing a total of 61 homes in the neighborhood to date. Deanwood is also home to the first two Passive Houses that DC constructed, the first of their kind in the District. Our upcoming project at 55th St NE will allow us to return to the neighborhood, adding 17 additional affordable townhomes for local families. 

Frye Road

  • Location: Fairfax, Virginia
  • Project Dates: September 2024
  • Specs: 995 square-foot home with two bedrooms and one bath

Habitat originally purchased the property and completed a major remodel and renovations, including new HVAC, plumbing, and created a new layout in 2019. We will be completing additional renovations on this charming home with a large backyard. We are thrilled to provide another individual or family with the chance to purchase their first home.

Upcoming Projects

Reeves Farmhouse

  • Location: Arlington, VA
  • Project Dates: TBD 
  • Specs: 4-5 dormitory apartments with common living space

In partnership with L’Arche of Greater Washington, HomeAid National Capital Region, and Arlington County, Habitat DC-NOVA will redevelop the historic Reevesland Farmhouse to accommodate adults with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers. A new, historically compatible wing will be added to accommodate 5-6 residents and 1-2 caregivers, and the existing farmhouse will be restored and renovated to meet the needs of the residents.

Glebe View Townhomes at Fairfax Presbyterian Church

  • Location: 10723 Main Street, Fairfax, VA
  • Project Dates: TBD 
  • Specs: Ten 3bd/2ba townhomes
  • Additional features: solar panels, 2 units for transitional housing partnership

Habitat DC-NOVA has joined a partnership with Fairfax Presbyterian Church (FPC), HomeAid National Capital Region, and HomeStretch to redevelop a portion of the church’s parking lot into ten townhomes. FPC will provide the land through a long-term ground lease, HomeAid will provide no- to low-cost site work and materials, and Habitat DC-NOVA will be the primary builder. Eight townhomes will be sold affordably to low-income families through the Habitat homeownership program, and two homes will be sold to HomeStretch. HomeStretch will use the two units for their Sacred Homes program supporting families transitioning out of homelessness. The homes will be built to EarthCraft Gold standards and have solar panels.

Habitat DC-NOVA is part of a development team that won a competitive RFP to redevelop the historic Langston and Slater schools into mixed-type, mixed-income housing. In partnership with Douglass Community Land Trust, we will build 12 for-sale units, five of which will be sold at market rate to cross-subsidize sales to families at 50% and 60% MFI.
