A plan for a new affordable housing development has been pitched for downtown DC.

Plans have been filed with DC's Historic Preservation Office to convert two rowhouses at 471-473 H Street NW (map) into an 11-story, 46-unit affordable development. The facades of the rowhouses would be restored while the rear addition at 471 H Street NW and a portion of the main structure would be removed, and a new L-shaped addition would be constructed at the rear of the property. Aggregate Architecture and Design is designing the conversion. 

The H Street rowhouses are over a century old and part of the Capitol Historic Trust Easement. They were last occupied by a law firm but have been vacant for several years. 

The H Street project is just the latest affordable development pitched for DC. A new 65-unit project is moving ahead near U Street, and The NRP Group just officially broke ground on Emblem, a 115-unit affordable development with a Flatiron-like design near Union Market.
