Overview
City Ridge is a 10-acre mixed-use development located in Washington, DC, on the former Fannie Mae campus. City Ridge is composed of eight buildings: two Office, five multifamily, and one sub-terrain retail space—the majority of which is built over a three-level below grade parking garage. One of the project’s goals was to preserve and repurpose the Colonial Revival architecture of the former headquarters, seamlessly integrate the site with the surrounding community (which includes multi-family and commercial buildings, a park and hiking trails, and a well-known private school) and serve as a model for sustainable site development.
Ruppert was presented with a Gold Award in the National Association of Landscape Professionals’ Awards of Excellence in program (Installation category) in 2023.
