SGA Companies and Level 2 Development are finally watching construction progress at their joint residential-and-retail project at 235 Carroll Street NW in Takoma Park, a long dormant site that Bethesda-based SGA Companies, founded by Sassan (Sas) Gharai, purchased in 2004. Three years later, site prep was undertaken, including extensive environmental remediation and the removal of rusted-out oil drums left over from the former gas station and truck rental facility on site. Still, four years went by before

Last week was the anniversary of the 1968 riots in D.C., following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in Memphis. The ensuing five days of destruction that befell Washington and filled the sky with smoke scarred the city’s landscape for decades and cut a hole in the heart of commerce through the prominent local retail districts of the era.

Washington neighborhoods hollowed out by looting and fires are only now beginning to fully finish recovering as commercial and

A long-awaited mixed-use apartment and retail development is coming to the vacant lot at Carroll and Maple streets in Takoma, just across the Washington, D.C., line from the Old Town Takoma Park business district.

Chevy Chase-based real estate company Federal Capital Partners announced on Jan. 12 they acquired the $36 million, 156-apartment Takoma Central project. Despite Takoma Park’s reputation as a haven for the type of small, independently-owned shops that line Carroll Street, leaders there said the new four-story project with 8,000 square feet of ground floor retail should help the area.

​Chevy Chase-based Federal Capital Partners and D.C.-based Level 2 Development LLC have formed a joint venture to develop an apartment and retail project near the Takoma Park Metro station.

The companies say the mixed-use project, called Takoma Central, will have 156 apartments and ground-floor retail. The project is at 255 Carroll St. NW. Federal Capital Partners estimates the cost of the project at $36 million.

Phase 1 construction has already begun, and Phase 2 will begin later this year, Federal Capital Partners says.

"Takoma Park is a high barrier to entry, metro market with little to no new apartment supply projected in the future," said FCP's vice president of residential development, Wade Casstevens. "We believe Takoma Central will enhance the village environment that distinguishes Takoma Park from other D.C. Metro station communities."

The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
