WASHINGTON, DC—Columbia Place, an adaptive reuse 12-story mixed-use development in the heart of the Shaw Historic District has delivered, reports design firm Cooper Carry. The project incorporates eight historic buildings, including a Civil War-era home.

The $230 million development consists of a dual-branded, 4-star hotel with underground parking, along with more than 200 apartments. The project is adjacent to DC’s Walter E. Washington Convention Center and Marriott Marquis Convention Hotel. Cooper Carry joined forces with tvsdesign on both Columbia Place and the nearby Marriott Marquis convention center hotel.

The urban infill development features a 357-room Courtyard by Marriot hotel, a 147-room Residence Inn, 203 apartments (The Lurgan), 3,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, 4,000 square feet of rooftop amenities and 10,000 square feet of shared meeting space.

A key design component of project was the integration of historical row houses and existing buildings. A three-story, 160-year-old Civil War-era townhome was moved from its original location and incorporated into the project within the dual-brand hotel. Seven additional historic buildings and the existing Lurgan Building were restored and reused for street-level retail.
