Two Modular Homes Go Up on DC’s Richardson Place

  • August 21, 2014
It is not often that pre-built sections of new homes are seen cruising down DC streets, but that is just what occurred last week.
                                                     

Two modular homes are going up on Richardson Place, a tiny street tucked away near 4th and R Street NW, and photos show portions of the homes being delivered to the site and later installed in pre-built sections.

The properties at 410-412 Richardson Place NW (map) are owned by Wilbur Mondie. Each has two units: A main residence that can have eight bedrooms and a three-bedroom basement unit. They should be completed in roughly two months.

    Eight bedrooms street level and 3 in the basement?  “By-right development?”  Can you elaborate?

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for your comments. Here’s a more thorough explanation.

    There are two homes. Each has a three-story main house that can be built out with up to eight bedrooms and a three-bedroom basement unit.

    A by-right development is a project that can be built without getting approval from the District’s Board of Zoning Adjustment or Historic Preservation Review Board.

Question, comment, or suggestion?
