Open to Artist Households, including administrators and educators. Many 1-bedroom units still available (limited studios). Move-in available immediately after eligibility review.

Cultural Development Corporation (CuDC) has partnered with The Cohen Companies and Union Place Phase I, LLC to develop 30 affordable live/work housing units for artists and their families at the Loree Grand — 250 K Street NE, in the NoMa area of Washington, DC.

Live/work artist housing are apartments that are primarily designed for living, with studio/work space as an ancillary use. Employees and walk-in trade are regulated by your Home Occupation Permit.


The Loree Grand.

About the Loree Grand at Union Place
The building, with move-in beginning June 2010, will feature studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and two-bedroom with den units. Units range from 596 to 1362 square feet. Additionally, nine of the units, located on 3rd Street, feature entryways with direct street access as either walk-down or walk-up units. Units are priced to be affordable to households earning a maximum of 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). A detailed schedule of eligible incomes and rental rates is available below.

Area Median Income (AMI) is the annual median income level for the Washington, DC metropolitan area, as calculated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The 2009 AMI for the metro area is $102,000 for a four person household.

All units feature stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and washer and dryers. In addition to these in unit amenities, the 212 unit project includes a courtyard, green roof, a gym and retail — all just over 2 blocks away from the New York Avenue/Florida Avenue Metro Station and Union Station.
