The Mayor Vincent Gray was joined by the DC Housing Authority, the DC Housing Finance Agency, and developer WC Smith.<\/p>\n<p>\tSheridan Station is the redevelopment of a vacant public housing site in Washington&rsquo;s Ward 8 and is significant for the preservation of affordable housing in the District of Columbia. At completion, the development will provide 327 units of mixed income, transit-oriented rental and for-sale housing built to green building standards.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe first phase of Sheridan Station is the first multifamily development in the District of Columbia to achieve a status of LEED Platinum. In addition to a full-service health and wellness clinic, community meeting room, and exercise facility, Phase I has a 100 kilowatt roof-top solar array which will produce enough electricity to offset up to 40% of the annual electric costs for the 114-unit building&rsquo;s common areas. The 125,000 square foot building also has a vegetative green roof and an underground rainwater cistern that collects storm water run-off.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe second phase of development consists of 80 for-sale townhomes and condominiums. The first 18 to be completed have been sold and settled with the next 20 under construction and pre-sold. Phase three will consist of an additional 133 multifamily units.<\/p>\n<p>\tEarlier this year the project was named Multifamily Development of the Year by the Washington Business Journal. The project has also just recently received the U.S. Green Building Council&rsquo;s Project of the Year Award for the Homes Award of Excellence.<\/p>\n<p>\tWCS Construction is a CBE certified general contractor headquartered in Southeast Washington. The company&rsquo;s experience includes new construction of office, commercial, and residential projects as well as substantial rehabilitation of multifamily projects. <a href='http:\/\/www.wcsconstruction.com\/news35.php'>www.wcsconstruction.com\/news35.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p style='text-align: center;'>\t<span style='color: rgb(105, 105, 105);'><strong>###<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, DC &ndash;
