Description

Some opportunities require vision. Others require timing. The rarest opportunities offer both, with nothing left standing between acquisition and execution. Introducing The Eastlight, a 10-unit boutique condominium development opportunity positioned just off the H Street Corridor, one of Washington’s most active growth corridors where residential demand, retail expansion, and long-term neighborhood investment continue to converge. This is not a concept or a pursuit. This is a fully realized development...Some opportunities require vision. Others require timing. The rarest opportunities offer both, with nothing left standing between acquisition and execution. Introducing The Eastlight, a 10-unit boutique condominium development opportunity positioned just off the H Street Corridor, one of Washington’s most active growth corridors where residential demand, retail expansion, and long-term neighborhood investment continue to converge. This is not a concept or a pursuit. This is a fully realized development opportunity where the hard work has already been completed. Zoning is secured. Architectural plans are complete. Construction permits are approved. The path forward is clear for a developer who understands the value of momentum. Designed by respected DC firm 2Plys Architecture, the building balances efficiency and market appeal with a unit mix proven to perform in this submarket. The program includes two three-bedroom penthouse residences, six two-bedroom homes designed for end-user demand, and two one-bedroom residences ideal for attainable price points. Two on-site parking spaces further strengthen resale positioning. With approximately 7,414 square feet of gross building area and 5,862 square feet of sellable residential space, the project is sized for execution without institutional complexity while still offering meaningful revenue potential. Estimated construction costs between $1.2M and $1.5M position the project for strong margins based on projected sellout values between $3.4M and $3.9M. Projects at this stage rarely trade. The entitlement process in Washington can take a year or more. Here, that timeline has already been absorbed. The next owner steps into a position of readiness, not risk. The Eastlight represents what experienced developers seek most: certainty, speed, and location strength. For the right buyer, this is not just another project. This is a chance to control a fully prepared development in a neighborhood still writing its growth story.
