The Townhomes on Capitol Hill,
Washington, DC

The former Ellen Wilson housing project was condemned by the District of Columbia in 1988. In 1991, the Ellen Wilson Community Development Corporation was organized by citizens with the mission of selecting a development team to redevelop the vacant site. The project was financed by a $26 million HOPE VI grant from the Department of Housing and Community Development and the District of Columbia's Department of Housing and Community Development. The Townhomes vary in height from two to four stories to keep consistent with the buildings in the Capitol Hill Historic District. The handsome Victorian brick facades have earned it the American Institute of Architects' 1998 Honor Award for Urban Design Excellence; the National Association of Homebuilders "Pillars of the Industry Award" for 2000, and Urban Land Institute Award for Excellence 2000.

Along with it's proposal to convert the old school to a hotel, CJ offered the Y the high school's extensive athletic area. Today the new 45,000 square foot Wang YMCA at Chinatown includes a swimming pool, fitness facility, basketball court running track, and community and day care space.
