Rare RA-1 development opportunity at 2816 Wade Road SE. This infill lot previously had a residential home on site, so utility connections may already be in place, offering a potentially easier path toward redevelopment than a raw vacant lot. The property appears well-suited for a thoughtfully designed attached multifamily building that complements the surrounding homes while taking advantage of RA-1 zoning. Whether you are a builder looking for your next project, an investor seeking a small multifamily opportunity, or a buyer interested in holding land for long-term appreciation, this is a compelling chance to secure a piece of DC real estate. Opportunities like this are increasingly hard to find and may not be available for long. Buyer to verify all zoning, development potential, utilities, connection status, and permitting requirements.

The Residential Apartment (RA) zones are residential zones, designed to provide for residential areas suitable for multiple dwelling unit development and supporting uses.; The RA zones are intended to: Permit flexibility by allowing all types of residential development; Promote stable residential areas while permitting a variety of types of urban residential neighborhoods; Promote a walkable living environment; Allow limited non-residential uses that are compatible with adjoining residential uses; Encourage compatibility between the location of new buildings or construction and the existing neighborhood; and Ensure that buildings and developments around fixed rail stations, transit hubs, and streetcar lines are oriented to support active use of public transportation and safety of public spaces.; The RA-1 zone provides for areas predominantly developed with low- to moderate-density development, including detached dwellings, rowhouses, and low-rise apartments.
