Rarely does a project provide so many positive benefits for the community—Passive House affordable apartments, homeownership and workspace opportunities for artists, an art gallery, retail, and a new home for Haley House.
2147 Washington Street creates a new 99,000 sf, 6-story mixed-use building that encourages artistry and entrepreneurship for Nubian Square. All marketed primarily for local artists and individuals engaged in the neighborhood’s creative economy, this development provides 62 affordable rental units and 12 for-sale condos. The project includes an interior courtyard, rotating art installations, workshop, retail and commercial spaces, a gallery, parking, and a new home for community staple, Haley House Bakery Cafe.
Located on a City-owned parking lot, our team worked closely with the City and the neighborhood to positively contribute to the revitalization of Nubian Square by supporting economic development without displacement. 2147 Washington Street is Passive House certified, allowing residents to live in comfort while leaving a low energy footprint.
DREAM was both architect and co-developer for the project.Â
