Acquisitions—Washington, DC

The Gale Eckington

The Gale Eckington is a 603-unit multifamily community located at 151 Q Street NE in Washington, DC. Originally constructed in 2013, the property has undergone a $9 million renovation program since acquisition, including roof replacement, common area and amenity enhancements, and in-unit upgrades.

As part of its commitment to sustainability and pursuit of GreenPoint Rated certification, the property has implemented a range of energy and water efficiency improvements, including the installation of a 330-kW solar photovoltaic system, HVAC replacements, low-flow water fixtures, site-wide LED lighting, and domestic hot water pipe insulation.

Residents benefit from an extensive suite of amenities, including a swimming pool, fitness center, outdoor lounge, clubroom, theatre room, game room, dog run, and grilling area.

The Gale Eckington also features a full-time, on-site Resident Services Coordinator who leads programs designed to strengthen community connections, promote resident wellbeing, and support household financial stability through resource coordination and benefits navigation. Ongoing initiatives include senior food distribution in partnership with DC Central Kitchen, community engagement events with the Metropolitan Police Department, and regular faith-based programming such as Bible study groups.
