Capitol Quarter, located between 5th and 3rd, Virginia Avenue and M Street, will ultimately contain 323 townhouses. Residents for the first phase of 160 townhouses will begin moving in January 2009.

The Capitol Hill style townhouses will offer 3-4 stories with 9' ceilings and hardwood floors on the main level, optional roof terrace/deck, garage parking, and state of the art ENERGY STAR appliances which designate superior energy performance.
