Live Wire Shines Spotlight on Stadium Neighborhood
City Takes Note as DC Mayor and Officials Attend Groundbreaking in Baseball District
Alexandria,
VA, November
15, 2006 – Mayor Elect Adrian Fenty
was atop a long list of local officials and
dignitaries who turned out Nov. 1 to the
groundbreaking ceremony for Onyx on First,
the first for-sale housing community to be
built in Washington, D.C.’s south east
waterfront neighborhood. The new condominium
marks the first steps in the revitalization
process for this important region of the
city.
Onyx on First is a joint venture between
Faison, a recognized leader in urban development
in the D.C. metro area and the Canyon Johnson
Urban Funds, the country’s largest
private real-estate fund focused on the building
urban properties in undeserved neighborhoods.
The 14-story, 266-residence condominium building
will include such luxury amenities as: a
rooftop pool, underground parking, a fitness
center, an outdoor courtyard, a game room,
and great views of the city from the upper
floors. Condos will range from studios to
2-bedrooms, and prices are anticipated to
start in the upper $200s.
“Faison and Canyon Johnson Urban
Funds have shown their devotion to Washington,
D.C. and its development by forging ahead
with this important revitalization project” said
Chryssa Zizos, president and founder of Live
Wire Media Relations. “Live Wire is
proud to contribute to the process of ushering
the city into this exciting new era.”
The day before he was elected as the next Mayor
of the District of Columbia, Adrian Fenty addressed
a crowd of city officials, reporters and television
cameras from the local NBC, ABC,
and CBS affiliates on the role Onyx
on First will play in the rebirth of the city’s
south eastern quarter. Now known as the up
and coming “Baseball District” the
neighborhood will also be home to the new Nationals
baseball stadium with both projects scheduled
for completion in 2008. Screech, the mascot
of the D.C. Nationals baseball team, was also
on hand to celebrate the construction of the
building and its residents that are expected
to be a key component in the residential, commercial
and retail development of the area.
