Story
This mixed-use community provides activation of the city core with affordable housing and retail. Located near downtown Silver Spring, Fenton Apartments promises to provide a higher density option for those who want walkable retail and transportation nearby. Two different brick colors were chosen as elements to ground the building and provide contrast around the lower portion of the structure. On the front, the brick is tiered and becomes the main focal point for the entryway. The units provide living areas and bedrooms that maximize the best views and lighting possible for the residents. This community is made up of both market rate and affordable units with a specific target of attracting seniors. Amenities include outdoor courtyard, great room and rooftop terrace. Seeking LEED Silver certification, Fenton Apartments will produce an energy-efficient and stylish addition to the living options in Silver Spring.
