Mill Creek Announces Construction Underway at Modera Lady Bird

Mixed-Use Community to Add 234 Rental Homes to D.C.'s Northwest Quadrant

WASHINGTON, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mill Creek Residential, a leading developer, owner-operator and investment manager specializing in premier rental housing across the U.S., today announced construction is underway at Modera Lady Bird, a contemporary mixed-use community bordering the premier Spring Valley and American University Park neighborhoods of the nation's capital. 

Modera Lady Bird, which broke ground in December, will feature 234 homes, an 18,000-square-foot organic grocery store and boasts an unparalleled location in Washington, D.C.'s Northwest quadrant. The midrise community is positioned along Massachusetts Avenue, a key artery connecting downtown D.C. to the Upper NW and Maryland suburbs. First move-ins are anticipated for summer 2027. 

"Modera Lady Bird represents the first Class A community along the Northwest portion of Massachusetts Avenue in more than four decades, and the first sizeable residential development ever delivered in the immediate Spring Valley neighborhood," said Peter Braunohler, managing director of development in the Mid-Atlantic for Mill Creek. "This will be a unique offering for the area, which mostly consists of single-family homes and where land suitable for such a community is extremely scarce. We look forward to joining the neighborhood and offering a best-in-class living experience."

Located at 4330 48^th Street NW, Modera Lady Bird is surrounded by an array of upscale retail amenities that include Crate & Barrel, Wagshal's Market, Millie's, Starbucks, Pizza Paradiso and Compass Coffee. The community's ground-floor organic grocer will provide the neighborhood with a walkable grocery option, which does not currently exist for residents in the immediate vicinity. The area also features key employers and demand drivers, including D.C.'s top-ranked hospital, Sibley Memorial, which sits within a mile of Modera Lady Bird. Additionally, American University, a private federally chartered research university, is within a half mile of the community.

Modera Lady Bird, which will be built to, and is pursuing, a LEED Gold certification, will offer studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom homes with select den layouts and penthouses. Community amenities will consist of a rooftop lounge and deck, a ground-level courtyard with fire pit and outdoor dining, resort-style outdoor swimming pool, resident clubhouse, demonstration kitchen, coffee bar, additional landscaped courtyards, pet spa and a club-quality fitness center with cardio equipment, individual TVs, steam rooms and a yoga/Pilates studio. The community will also include coworking spaces, controlled-access garage parking, EV-charging stations, dedicated bike storage and additional storage space.

Home interiors will feature nine- and 10-foot ceilings, wood-style plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, pull-down faucets, tile backsplashes, pendant lighting, moveable and fixed kitchen islands, custom soft-close cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, oversized bedrooms with spacious closets, built-in storage, in-home washers and dryers and private patios/balconies. Smart features will include programmable thermostats, key fob access, keyless guest entry, bulk WiFi and smart leak detection. Bathrooms will feature backlit mirrors, double vanities, linen closets, soaking tubs and tile shower surrounds.
