Capitol Passage is a mixed-use, 100% affordable housing, modern development located in Southeast Washington D.C. Being located at the corner of East Capitol St. and Southern Ave the site becomes an important gateway to Washington D.C. and Maryland. With its proximity to Capitol Heights Metro station, Capitol Passage and the amenities provided by the development help the community at large heal its lack of resources. This development supports the needs and wants of the Capitol View Civic Association (CVCA). CVCA wants to strengthen and serve the community from the youngest to the oldest. Centering the development around this concept, Capitol Passage will capitalize on the support of the community to make a development that will bring resources that the community needs such as modern residential, fresh food (Market), medical institutions (Howard University & University of District of Columbia), public support space for small businesses, workforce development centers, and stainability (Rooftop Urban Farm). Capitol Passage will generate jobs; provide space for small businesses; entice various talents; and offer affordable housing, all of which are needed in contributing to mending this community.
