Affordable Housing Development Unveiled In Hyattsville

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — City officials and other leaders broke ground Thursday at The Six, a 316-unit 400,000-square-foot mixed-use development in the University Town Center area of Hyattsville.

“As we mark the beginning of construction, we’re thrilled to be adding an innovative residential offering to the city of Hyattsville that will forge meaningful ties to this vibrant community, connect future residents to public transit corridors and provide them with a thoughtfully and sustainably designed oasis to rest, recharge and connect,” Nihar Shah, partner at Perseus TDC, said. “With strong ties to the arts through indoor/outdoor murals commissioned by local artists and an abundance of sustainable elements, The Six exemplifies a commitment to building a better community for Hyattsville.”

Hyattsville Mayor Robert Croslin added that the city is "thrilled to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new multi-family residences at The Six development project."

“Expanding affordable housing has always been at the forefront for my colleagues and me, so we are pleased that the Perseus TDC team and partners have chosen to invest and commit to developing sustainable and affordable housing units in Hyattsville," Croslin said.

The Six will offer at least 75 percent of new housing at affordable to low- and middle-income households, which MWCOG has determined to be $2,499/month or less.

Located at 6400 America Boulevard, The Six will feature more than 21,000-square-feet of community-centered amenity space including a dual-level fitness center, lush courtyard with ample gathering space and a rooftop pool terrace with fireplaces and grilling stations. Residents also will have premier access to a dedicated pet spa with grooming stations and ample bicycle parking and bike workshop for reduced carbon-emissions commutes.
