From Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen:
“Today is a major step forward for a project that has stretched on for nearly two decades, offering more concrete details of the vision and hope Hill East neighbors have long held for Reservation 13 to extend the neighborhood from 19th Street to the Anacostia River.
The winning bids commit to building more housing at multiple price points and for individuals and families at different stages of life, bringing much needed local retail, a hotel, and adding neighborhood parks and green spaces. I’m looking forward to digging more into the details on the selected proposals and how they plan to make good on the promises to the community they’ve made. Thanks to the team at DMPED and to all of our ANC and Ward 6 neighbors who have helped shape this project.”
From the Mayor’s Office:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) announced new progress in the Hill East Phase II Development in Ward 7 by selecting Blue Skye Development and Donatelli Development to develop Bundle 1 and R13 Community Partners to develop Bundle 2. This is the third and largest project awarded under Mayor Bowser’s EquityRFP initiative, which increases access to development opportunities for entities or organizations that are owned or majority controlled by individuals determined to be part of a socially disadvantaged population. Further, the project continues Mayor Bowser’s longstanding commitment to delivering projects that maximize income restricted housing, including deeply affordable housing; create job opportunities for District residents; and provide retail and other neighborhood serving amenities to underserved communities.
“In Hill East, we’re creating new opportunities for DC residents and, by using the equity inclusion priority, doing so in a way that honors the legacy of RFK,” said Mayor Bowser. “We know that Washingtonians need jobs and housing, and that’s what we are delivering in Hill East. These projects move us another step closer to reaching our goal of 36,000 new homes by 2025, and we are proud to be delivering more than 760 deeply affordable homes to the Hill East community.”
The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Hill East Phase II development consists of nearly 496,857 square feet of land area and includes two bundles with the following parcels: (more…)

From a press release:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced that the construction of the District’s permanent Black Lives Matter Plaza monument at 16th Street between K Street and H Street NW is officially complete.
“When we created Black Lives Matter Plaza in June 2020, we sent a strong message that Black Lives Matter, and that power has always been and always will be with well-meaning people. Today, we have transformed the mural into a monument,” said Mayor Bowser. “One of my proudest memories of Black Lives Matter Plaza is when, in his final days, Congressman John Lewis came to see it for himself. He recognized Black Lives Matter Plaza as good trouble, and we know it will remain a gathering place for reflection, planning and action, as we work toward a more perfect union.” (more…)
