34Fifty Apartments, located a few blocks from the Anacostia River at 3450 Eads Street NE in Washington, DC just topped out. This Affordable Housing building will feature 49 Net-Zero Ready units, including several family-sized apartments. SK&A Structural Engineers joined Torti Gallas, MCN Build, and the Neighborhood Development Company for the celebration.
“This project is unique, since it’s the first affordable housing project in DC that complies with Passive House (PHIUS) energy requirements.” ~ SK&A Project Manager, David J. Stringer, PE
The groundbreaking was just held in July of 2023, at which time the developer, Neighborhood Development Company stated, “The project is truly green, with construction being completed with environmentally conscious technologies as well as offering the opportunity for eventual occupants to realize significant savings in utility costs and minimize their carbon footprint” (https://neighborhooddevelopment.com/a-groundbreaking-in-innovative-real-estate-development/). The 4-story building has a partial concrete podium over ground-floor parking. The rest of the project is stick-built wood-framed type 5A construction.
We applaud the entire project team for their efforts in reaching this milestone and recognize the following SK&A Structural Engineers’ team members who have contributed to this project’s success: Walid Choueiri, PE, SE, David Stringer, PE, and Anna Bohlmann, EIT.
