8/1/17

Sophisticated apartment building in heart of U Street will be second D.C. location of The Smith

JBG SMITH Properties (NYSE:JBGS), a leading owner of high-quality, mixed-use properties located in the Washington, DC market, announced today the opening of 13|U. Located at the vibrant intersection of 13th and U Streets, 13|U brings a new level of sophisticated living to one of D.C.’s burgeoning neighborhoods.

13|U is an intimately scaled new building featuring 129 refined residences ranging from one bedroom to two bedrooms with den. Graciously sized, the largest floorplan tops out at over 2,000 square feet. Designed as havens from hectic daily life, the common areas and residences are calm and tranquil, while just a stone’s throw from DC’s lively U Street Corridor.

This stately building was designed by world-renowned David M. Schwarz Architects and BBGM, architecture and design firms dedicated to crafting sustainable, human-centered urban spaces. Complete with its two curving corners, iron-spot brick and cast stone, 13|U conveys a timeless sense of unequivocal quality.

The interiors were meticulously crafted by New York based Champalimaud to emulate boutique-style living with a sense of sophistication and elegance that is created through the use of clean lines and soft-lighting. The elegantly crafted residences feature walnut hardwood flooring, 9-foot ceiling heights, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a Thermador™ built-in refrigerator, quartz countertops with an elegant waterfall feature, and bathrooms with floating vanities and double sinks. Many of the residences also include generously proportioned balconies with panoramic views of the city and its storied monuments.

“The beauty of U Street is that you have access to a wide variety of experiences, living in the epicenter of highly-reviewed restaurants and numerous entertainment venues within the immediate vicinity,” said JBG SMITH Chief Development Officer, Kai Reynolds. “In the creation of this high-caliber building, we wanted to contribute something new to this bustling and eclectic neighborhood. And, especially with our focus of developing unrivaled quality finishes, bringing impeccable personalized service to residents, plus the addition of The Smith – we are offering something truly different from other apartments nearby.”

13|U will be the second D.C. location of The Smith, a neighborhood brasserie with a simple mission: make people happy. The menu features straightforward bistro classics, seasonal fare, and craft cocktails in a lively atmosphere. The Smith will open this winter. The ground floor of 13|U also features a new Rite Aid pharmacy, which is already open for business.

Along with a fully appointed rooftop resident lounge with fireplace, 13|U also offers two rooftop terraces with grilling stations, outdoor kitchen, and outdoor dining overlooking the lively U Street scene, a fitness studio with personal trainer, private underground parking, a state-of-the-art electronic key system, and full-service concierge. This eco-conscious building prides itself on sustainability, and features Energy Star appliances, high efficiency HVAC units, electric vehicle charging stations, and low-emitting materials for paints and coatings.

13|U is currently open for residential leasing.
