Mixed-Use and Residential Projects
Mixed-use development is a dynamic way to infuse retail, residential, and office space in a condensed area. WMC has, and continues to, develop the
upcoming areas in Washington, DC. This has included the newly developed neighborhood of NoMA, U Street Corridor, and the Southeast Waterfront
region. WMC’s experience also includes the unique mixed-use addition to The George Washington University campus to involves the addition of residential, office and retail space.
The unique landscape that makes up Washington DC and surrounding suburban areas allow various approaches to the design of residential environments.
WMC has been afforded the opportunity to work on numerous residencies that include low, mid, and high rise residences, and residences that are incorporated into mixed-use development.
Constitution Square (Square 711)
Washington, DC
WMC participated in the design efforts for Constitution Square (Square 711), located at First
and M Streets in Washington, DC. The mixed-use development was envisioned to include office buildings and residential buildings along with retail space and associated garages.
WMC provided civil engineering and surveying services to that included topographic, boundary, and utility surveys; planning services, site civil engineering, and landscape and paving design.
Innovative stormwater management techniques included green roofs and Low Impact Development incorporating street side infiltration planters.

Central Armature Works Redevelopment
Washington, DC
WMC is supporting the design team for the design of a mixed-use development, on the former Central Armature Works site, consisting of three separate buildings. The site will house a 130,000 sq ft hotel, 175,000 sq ft residential building, and a second residential building with 450 residential units approximately 410,000 sq ft of retail space.
The site is adjacent railroad track-beds and a Metro train station. Once complete, pedestrians will have access to a tunnel leading to the NoMa-Gallaudet Metro station. Due to the close proximity to train tracks WMC met critical site development requirements.

The Kennedy Warren Apartments
Washington, DC
WMC provided site civil design services for the development of a new wing at the historic Kennedy Warren Apartments, nicknamed "The Old Lady of The Avenue," and located on Connecticut Avenue overlooking the National Zoo. Seventy years after its construction, the B.F. Saul Company proposed the construction of a third wing for the complex. The apartments were built in three phases, and the first section was completed in 1931. The second in 1935 where 200 units were added, bringing up the total to 317 units. However, this still left the original design only two-thirds complete. The building was then completed according to Younger’s design whose original drawings were discovered years later, to complete the third and final phase.
