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

Mayor Muriel Bowser inaugurated the Reservoir District Townhomes, offering 146 new homes, including 22 affordable units, in Ward 5. This development is part of a significant initiative to transform the former McMillan Sand Filtration Site into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. Bowser noted that the project exemplifies the administration's commitment to activating underutilized land for community benefit. The public-private partnership includes Vision McMillan Partners, which will also develop additional apartments and retail spaces. Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie expressed pride in the project's alignment with community values and its focus on long-time residents.

The Reservoir District will host a summer event series, featuring family-friendly activities and cultural celebrations. This initiative aims to foster community engagement and attract residents to enjoy the new amenities. Mayor Bowser's ongoing Growth Agenda for DC includes substantial investments in affordable housing, with significant funding allocated for various housing programs.
