The District has picked the developers to build two major projects totaling over 2,300 units near RFK Stadium in Hill East, the largest selections it has made as part of its new equity-focused development process.
Mayor Muriel Bowser’s administration announced Tuesday it selected two teams to develop on separate portions of the 67-acre Reservation 13 site. It selected R13 Community Partners to build a 1,246-unit project, and it selected a partnership of Donatelli Development and Blue Skye Development to build a 1,068-unit project.
The selections were made through D.C.’s EquityRFP process, an initiative Bowser’s administration launched in June 2020 that it hopes will lead to greater diversity among development teams. It has made two previous selections through the process.
The R13 Community Partners team, which the announcement said is 100% Black-owned, includes Frontier Development & Hospitality Group, BRP Cos., H2 Design Build, Broughton Construction, A. Wash & Associates and U Street Parking. The team was selected to build on a portion of the site called Bundle 2, consisting of Parcels C, E and H of the Reservation 13 site.
