Big changes are in the works in Washington DC's Ward 8 beginning this winter. Phase 1 of the highly anticipated Sheridan Terrace public housing redevelopment is slated to begin construction in January or February 2010 - depending on when the D.C. Housing Authority finally closes on financing for the project.



Located east of Sheridan Road and bounded by Howard Road, Sayles Place, Stanton Road, and Pomeroy Road, Sheridan Terrace’s 11 acres in Anacostia [Ward 8] are owned jointly by the DC Housing Authority and William C. Smith & Co. As lead developer, Smith partnered with Union Temple CDC and Jackson Investment Co. to form Sheridan Terrace Redevelopment LLC. Sheridan Terrace will comprise a small piece of the Barry Farm/Park Chester/Wade Road redevelopment planned for Ward 8. Smith will also work with the Housing Authority on a master plan for these surrounding communities. The project was designed by Bethesda's SK&I Architects, which furnished the seven different building designs that will include landscaped greenspace and a pedestrian trail.

Phase 1 of the 344-unit Sheridan Terrace construction will revolve around an initial 122 units. One hundred and fourteen Phase 1 units will be allotted as low-income rentals and eight will be available for home ownership. Look for a completed Phase 1 in August of 2011. Phases 2 and 3 of the redevelopment will begin once all units in Phase 1 are filled, but the entire project is expected to be complete by 2015.
