Maddy summaryThe "St. Elizabeths East Parcel 13 Extension of Disposition Authority Amendment Act of 2025" extends the deadline for developing or selling a District-owned parcel at 1100 Alabama Avenue, S.E. (St. Elizabeths East Parcel 13) from two years to six years. This directly affects the District government, which owns the 138,162-square-foot parcel, and the developer Dantes Partners Acquisitions, L.L.C., who is working to create a mixed-use project with 420 housing units and retail space. The bill amends the 2022 law to update the developer’s name and extend the time limit, addressing delays caused by complex infrastructure challenges and the need to secure alternative funding. The District states this extension will not require additional budgetary resources, as the project remains funded within existing fiscal plans.
