By Jonathan O'Connell,
Metro agreed to sell three parcels of land near the Congress Heights Metrorail station last week for inclusion in a project that is seeking to capitalize on construction of a new headquarters for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
At its board meeting Thursday, Metro agreed to sell 41,068 square feet of land surrounding one entrance to the Congress Heights station to Sanford City Partners for $3 million. The developers are planning something that to this point cannot be found in the neighborhood: a new 250,000-square-foot office building, along with 15,000 to 20,000 square feet of retail.
The property is on Alabama Avenue in Southeast Washington, across the street from the east campus of St. Elizabeths hospital, where the city is advancing plans for mixed-use development. The new DHS headquarters is being built on the west campus.
