BUYING NEW | Design approved by the Historic Preservation Review Board
Kite House is a mixed-use condominium building at the Parks at Walter Reed, a 67-acre residential and commercial development on part of what was once the Walter Reed Army Medical Center campus.“While the project is new construction, it was designed with elements that related to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center buildings,” said Katie Wiacek, managing director of Hines, one of the developers of the property.
Seven street-level residences have patios and private entrances. Units on the upper five floors are accessed on the west side through a lobby, which also leads to a concierge station, a fitness center and co-working space. Retail space is planned on the south side, facing the open-air Marketplace Plaza. Underground parking spaces are available to buy for $40,000, or $48,000 with a charging station. A second-floor terrace has grills, lounge seating, a dining area and private party space.
Units come in five types: one bedroom; one bedroom with den; two bedrooms; two bedrooms with den; and three-bedrooms. All have an open-concept living, dining and kitchen area, and 70 percent have a balcony or a terrace. Kitchen and bathroom colors are either “warm palette” or “cool palette.” The warm palette makes for natural-wood-color floors and lower cabinets and white upper cabinets. The cool palette produces light-gray floors and white oak cabinets. All models have engineered hardwood floors, Kohler water fixtures, and Bosch appliances including a stacked washer and dryer and quartz kitchen and bathroom counters.
Kite House is LEED Silver-certified as energy-efficient and eco-friendly and will exceed D.C.’s energy-design standards by almost 20 percent, with oversize Pella windows and Ecobee smart thermostats, according to Hines.Kitchens have stainless-steel faucets and appliances, quartz counters, white-herringbone-tile backsplashes, pendant or globe light fixtures, and flat-panel cabinets. Upper cabinets have a natural-wood or white finish; lower cabinets have a dark-wood-stain finish.
