Marketing description
Marcus & Millichap is pleased to exclusively represent the owner in the sale of 5412 1st Street NW, Washington, DC 20011, a MU-4 zoned multifamily development opportunity located on a 3,833 SF parcel within the Brightwood/Upper Petworth submarket of Northwest Washington, DC.
The site is fully entitled with approved building plans for a twenty-unit, 13,158 SF multifamily development consisting of four two-bedroom/two-bath units, fourteen one-bedroom/one-bath units, and two penthouse units featuring two bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Upon stabilization, the project has the potential to generate over $1.2 million in annual gross rental income based on projected performance.
The property is strategically positioned within the Upper Petworth corridor of Northwest Washington, DC, an area that has experienced substantial residential and mixed-use redevelopment in recent years.
