The Asberry at Barry Farm
1200 Sumner Road SE
Washington, DC
Opened in 2024, The Asberry, located at 1200 Sumner Road SE, is a mixed-use building with 108 affordable rental apartments with a preference for those aged 55+, thoughtful amenities and over 5,000 square feet of retail space. With a landscape courtyard, a wellness room, a fitness center, a community room and a rooftop amenity space, The Asberry is a hub for engagement and community.
This is the first on-site building for the Barry Farm redevelopment - a multi year project that replaces the former Barry Farm public housing with a vibrant mixed-use, mixed-income community. Phase I is creating 432 apartments in 3 new, attractive multifamily buildings and 115 modern townhomes, totaling 33,000 square feet of living space.
The Asberry is certified passive house under the strict Passive House Institute of the US (PHIUS) standard, reducing the building's environmental footprint. Phase 1 has also made significant improvements to the site's infrastructure and surrounding roads.
