MDXL Flats, and its sister community, MDL Flats – who opened their doors in 2021, make up 177 affordable residential units, contributing to Mayor Bowser's goal of creating 12,000 affordable homes by the end of 2025.

"We know that to achieve the Mayor's bold housing goals, we have to be even bolder with our actions. MDXL Flats is an example of how we can use targeted investments and intentional planning to deliver affordable housing in more parts of our city. We thank all of the partners who made this project a reality for the residents who will call this building home," said Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Nina Albert."<\/p>\n
UPO President and CEO Andrea Thomas said, "Housing is a persistent concern for DC residents, so UPO is proud to be a partner in providing housing stability to people with low incomes and supportive services to those who were unhoused. Most importantly, we are excited to hear the new residents declare, 'I'm home.<\/b>'"<\/p>\n
"Gilbane Building Company is very proud of this project for not only the impact that more affordable housing options will have on the community but also the positive impact the project had throughout construction," said Tyler Swartzwelder, business leader for Gilbane's Washington, DC office. "Fifty percent of construction contracts, totaling more than $14 million, were awarded to diverse-owned and small businesses. Thanks to clients like TM Associates, who share our commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, Gilbane is more than halfway towards our goal of generating $4 billion in awards to MWBE+ businesses by 2027."<\/p>\n
