35 for 35: Construction Update
APAH currently has three buildings under construction. These projects will collectively create more than 800 affordable apartments throughout the region!
Riggs Crossing Senior Residences
Units: 93
Designation: Senior
Expected completion: 2025
Location: Washington, DC
As we approach the final stages of construction, work at Riggs Crossing is simultaneously taking places in many facets of the building. Advancements include interior work, such as rough-ins and finishes, as well as framing and facade work on the building exterior. APAH is also excited the project is creating jobs for the local community. The project team has trained DC residents for construction work, equipped them with three different construction certificates, and hired more than 10 local residents.
The project is adjacent to EYA’s Riggs Park Place community, creating a multi-generational mixed-income community. Residents will enjoy nearby access to Fort Totten metrorail station, a Walmart shopping center just across the street, and the
Lamond-Riggs/Lillian J. Huff Neighborhood Library down the street.
Marbella “Site A”
Units: 234
Expected completion: 2025
Location: Arlington County
At the end of July, this development hit its “topping out” milestone, which means the project has reached its highest point during construction. The redevelopment project will transform 31 garden-style apartments into 234 affordable units.
The Marbella site is in Rosslyn, a high-opportunity neighborhood rich with transit and amenities.
The Exchange at Spring Hill Station
Units: 516
Expected completion: 2026
Location: Fairfax County
In August, the project team hosted a “bottoming out” party, which marks the end of excavation. Once completed, The Exchange will include more than 500 affordable units, a 4-level, below-ground garage, and a community center operated by Fairfax County.
The Exchange is the first 100% affordable community in the Tysons neighborhood in Fairfax County and received key funding from Amazon’s Housing Equity Fund.
