Mayor Bowser Delivers First Housing and Homeownership Opportunities at Reservoir District on Former McMillan Site

Mayor Muriel Bowser inaugurated the Reservoir District Townhomes in Ward 5, delivering 146 for-sale townhomes, including 22 affordable units. This development is part of a larger initiative to redevelop the former McMillan Sand Filtration Site into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. Bowser highlighted the project's role in transforming underutilized land into new homeownership opportunities for residents. The development is a collaboration between the District of Columbia and Vision McMillan Partners, which will also bring additional housing and retail spaces to the area. Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie expressed pride in the project, emphasizing its alignment with community values and needs.

The townhome designs reflect the site's historic structures, enhancing the area's character. This initiative supports the Bowser Administration's goals for inclusive prosperity and housing affordability. Bowser's FY26 Budget continues to prioritize housing investments, allocating significant funds for various housing programs.
