JC Layne on Georgia
"From the start, our vision for The JC Layne was rooted in serving the community. By delivering a mix of market-rate and affordable homes we’re ensuring that Georgia Avenue continues to be a vibrant, inclusive neighborhood. We believe projects like this demonstrate that growth and equity can—and must—go hand in hand." — Omar A. Karim, CEO, Banneker Ventures
Project Overview

Banneker served as the sponsor, developer, and general contractor of this three-story, $4.8 million, 18-unit apartment development. Banneker renovated all units, common spaces, and the building’s exterior. This project is directly across the street from the $1 billion redevelopment of the former Walter Reed campus, which includes a Whole Foods.
Banneker got involved in this project after the long-time owner was experiencing operational and financing issues with the building.
Banneker led the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act process and preserved all the units as affordable while expanding the number of family-sized units.
This project was financed by sponsor equity and a renovation and permanent loan from City First Bank of Washington.
