| Usually when people move to a new neighborhood, they might introduce themselves to neighbors with a plate of brownies.
When Pritzker Residential moved into D.C.'s East End, the Chicago-based developer offered to lead a $100,000 renovation of its new neighbor's building, a homeless shelter.
Pritzker recently topped out a 371-unit luxury apartment building at Fourth Street and Massachusetts Avenue NW, and the developer, along with contractor Clark Realty Builders, have offered financial support and staff resources to renovate the Gospel Rescue Mission on Fifth Street.
The Home Builders Care Foundation, a community outreach program tied to the Maryland National Capital Building Industry Association (www.mncbia.org), is managing the project, which will include new plumbing, lighting, mechanical systems, floors and doors.
"Being the new kid on the block, we want to pitch in and help out the best we can," says Richard Boales, Pritzker's vice president of development.
