257-Unit Luxury Mixed-Use Apartment Community in the Bustling and Enigmatic H Street Corridor


A Closer Look //
Spurring Urban Progress

Flats at Atlas, a multifamily luxury apartment community located near the H Street, Atlas, Trinidad, and Rosedale communities in the Northeast quadrant of Washington, DC, is a short walk from the many restaurants, shops, and bars on H Street as well as the historic Atlas Theater. The Flats represents an important investment in the local community, bringing high-quality housing to an area that has not benefited from new residential development in many years. The Flats features studio-style apartments as well as a variety of one and two-bedroom floor plans, and incorporates modern architectural styles that remain consistent with the surrounding areas. In addition to local restaurants and entertainment, residents of this luxury community have access to a wide range of amenities including a pool, fitness center, courtyards, indoor basketball court, and ground-level retail.

The development of this project was an interactive process that included the community in every step of the way. Not only were you [CRC] patient with the community as we went back and forth with the design process, you demonstrated an unparalleled sensitivity to the corridor’s rich history while bringing something new and fresh.
— Anwar Saleem, Executive Director, H Street Main Street, Inc.
We didn’t want a second rate project…we wanted modern and fresh but also something respectful of the brick homes that are already here. The community didn’t like the first design, but [CRC] addressed our concerns and came back with a much stronger design...[CRC] asked for input down to the landscaping, and we really appreciated that.
— Kathy Henderson, Community Activist, Chairperson, Advisory Neighborhood Commission 5D
