From an email:

“555 E Street, SW (555) is one of the nation’s first mixed-income, mixed-age apartment communities. All residents, whether they lease market-rate apartments or senior affordable apartments, walk through the same front door, benefit from the building’s luxe amenities, and form an unlikely bond that transcends income, age, race, or disability.

555 is a brand new property, a 12-story building that offers 194 new apartments with 58 affordable senior units reserved for those aged 62 and up, between 30 and 50 percent AMI. Of the 58 affordable housing units available for seniors, seven are reserved as permanent supportive housing units for seniors in transition from homelessness. A robust amenity package– including a magnificent rooftop pool, expansive gym with the latest equipment, stainless steel appliances, and high-end finishes–benefit all residents, not to mention a prime location within walking distance to the Wharf, L’Enfant Plaza, the National Mall, and other cultural attractions and conveniences.
