Ontario Court is the rehabilitation of an 85-year old, three-story building in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C., into a mixed-use facility serving low- and moderate-income residents. The “near-gut-rehab” renovation preserves 27 units of affordable housing in the gentrifying neighborhood, and creates 4,000 sq. ft. of commercial space to house the new Jubilee JumpStart Early Childhood Development Center. Completed in 2009, the building houses six one-bedroom units, 18 two-bedroom units and three units with three bedrooms. A new laundry facility for the residents has been added to the building’s basement. Unit renovations also include new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems; installation of new security systems; and air conditioning.
