Town Square | New luxury high-rise coming to Crystal City

By Michele Lerner November 3 at 5:30 AM

Real estate development company Kettler is starting construction on m.flats Crystal City, a LEED Silver-designed 11-story luxury high rise one block from the Crystal City Metro station.

The building is anticipated to be complete in October 2016. The 198-unit building will be marketed to single renters, young professionals and couples looking for a smaller yet luxurious apartment.

The apartments will mostly be one- and two-bedroom units with oak flooring, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. Building amenities will include a two-level clubhouse on the upper two floors with multiple outdoor seating and dining areas, outdoor kitchens with grills, a fireplace and a sundeck next to a swimming pool.

Other amenities include underground garage parking, a lounge with a game area, a fitness center, a bike room and a landscaped all-season courtyard. Rents have yet to be determined.

Construction starts on low-income housing in Southeast

Transitional Housing Corporation recently broke ground on the Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Commons, a project that will transform three blighted buildings in Southeast Washington into affordable apartments for low- and moderate-income families.

When completed by mid-2015, the buildings at 5010 Southern Ave. SE will provide apartments for 36 families including 12 formerly homeless families at below-market rents.

Employment services and other support for youth and families will also be provided on site. One-third of the units will be reserved for families with more intensive needs.
