NoMA Redevelopment

Washington, DC

After a very expeditious planning effort that included extensive input from residents, business owners and other stakeholders in the NoMa area, WMC provided the design assistance for the DC Office of Planning to present the NoMa Vision Plan and Development Strategy to the DC Council for approval.  The design approach for the plan was to facilitate the creation of a walkable, transit-accessible, dynamic, and diverse neighborhood with a mix of uses.

WMC worked closely with District agencies, NoMa Business Improvement District, and private property owners to upgrade the area’s infrastructure. WMC’s efforts include salient features such as public art installations, streetscape and landscape design, low impact development principles and improved pedestrian and bicycle access. WMC provided NoMa developers with cutting edge designs that will create unique elements, including water features, plantings, rain gardens and other stormwater retention practices.
