WASHINGTON, D.C. — Mill Creek Residential has purchased the former Italian Embassy in Washington, D.C., which it plans to convert into luxury apartment homes. The sales price was $16.2 million, according to the Washington Business Journal. Originally built in 1925, the property is located at 2700 16th St. N.W. The building served as the diplomatic mission of the Italian Republic to the United States until 2002. The new chancery is located about two miles away at 3000 Whitehaven St. Mill Creek Residential’s designs for redevelopment will aim to satisfy the guidelines set forth by the Historic Preservation Review Board, and Mill Creek plans to begin construction on the community in 2016. Plans include the renovation of the existing building, as well as construction of a nine-story high-rise with two levels of below-grade parking. The community will consist of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes and feature a resident clubhouse, business center, rooftop terrace, fitness center and landscaped outdoor terraces. Dallas-based Mill Creek Residential owns and operates 2,671 apartment homes in the D.C. metropolitan area and has begun construction on more than 1,400 additional apartments, not including the Italian Embassy project.
