A $115 million federal Hope VI project , the New East Capitol, is moving forward in Washington, DC. The project will consist of the demolition of 1,100 public housing units and construction of a mixed-income community of 555 units, a neighborhood retail center, and community and day-care facilities. The lead architects are Sorg and Associates, who have designed new urbanist infill projects in DC. Construction is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2002.
