New Mission for a Decommissioned Site
The McMillan Sand Filtration Site project is one the most significant DC real estate development projects to be proposed in many decades. MV+A has been commissioned by Jair Lynch as the architect for two separate parcels within the development.
The buildings are part of a larger development on the site of the former water filtration plant built between 1902 and 1905. For Parcel 4, MV+A has designed a dynamic, mixed‑use building featuring a full‑service grocery store and five levels of market‑rate apartments and affordable, senior housing. For Parcel 2, MV+A has designed an elegant, seven-story building with mixed-retail and rental apartments. Both parcels are currently in the Design Development phase and each was recently reviewed by the DC Historic Preservation Review Board for design updates to the previously approved plans with no exceptions taken.
