(Washington, DC) – On Monday, June 30 at 11 am, Mayor Bowser will cut the ribbon on the new Reservoir District Townhomes in Ward 5, delivering 146 for-sale townhomes, of which 22 are affordable. The project is part of a larger redevelopment that last year brought the Reservoir Park Recreation Center and Aquatic Center and a 6.2-acre park to the former McMillan Sand Filtration Site, a long-shuttered water treatment plant that the Bowser Administration unstuck and is now transforming into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood.
The world-class recreation center delivered last year features a multipurpose community meeting room, outdoor gathering space, a fitness studio with lockers and shower facilities, a pool with three-lap lanes and a learn-to-swim area and gallery space to showcase the history of the site. The 6.2-acre park features a grand plaza with two splash pads, an amphitheater for community gatherings, an immense grass field, a children’s playground and the Olmsted Walk, which encircles the site with adult exercise stations.
The opening of the Reservoir District Townhomes builds on Mayor Bowser’s Growth Agenda, as well as her longstanding commitment to building affordable housing in the District.
