The future of the iconic Fannie Mae property in northwest Washington, D.C., with a mixed-use “urban village” redevelopment plan that includes residences, hotels and commercial space.
Fannie Mae, the nickname of the Federal National Mortgage Association, has long occupied the 10-acre site along Wisconsin Avenue, which was best known for its expansive front lawn and Williamsburg-style headquarters building, constructed in the early 1960s. With the agency relocating to a new location in downtown Washington in 2018, a joint venture North America Sekisui House, LLC and DC-based Roadside Development purchased the property for $89 million last fall.
