Fortis acquired two vacant, blighted apartment buildings in Columbia Heights and converted them into 27 condominiums. The project design includes restored original art-deco architectural features, designer kitchens, European tile bathrooms, bicycle storage and private gardens. At The Otis, Fortis was able to create homeownership opportunities at a price point that allowed residents to save almost $10,000 per year versus the cost of renting in the surrounding neighborhood. As a result, the project was 100% sold in 4.5 months.
