City Ridge

ParkerRodriguez


City Ridge is a new sustainable Urban Village on the site of the historic Fannie Mae headquarters in northwest Washington, DC.

Merit Award in Design-Built


The design creates series of unique experiences located throughout the site that invite exploration by users and residents to various landscapes such as those adjacent to existing parkland, intimate outdoor living rooms as well as panoramic landscapes from this highpoint in the city.


Visual connections between roof gardens within the development as well as surrounding cultural landmarks and parkland were carefully considered and coordinated with the architect, interior designer, and entire design team.



Integration of landscape layers into the complex site occurs at grade and on multiple levels of the seven new buildings. These highly functional landscapes include meadows, pollinator gardens, perennial green roofs, woodland gardens and rocky outcrops providing a setting for a diverse neighborhood of residential, retail, and office uses.
