JAIR LYNCH Development Partners, as part of a joint venture with Alpha Corporation, acted
as fee developer for the DC Department of Parks and Recreation to build a brand new
community recreation center for the Riggs Park community in Northeast Washington, DC.
Among the features of the new Riggs-LaSalle Community Center are an indoor gymnasium
with bleachers, weight and fitness rooms, computer lab, multipurpose room, restrooms
with showers and lockers and an outdoor sprinkler park. The 16,000 SF facility also
features the latest energy efficient technology, including a permanent green roof to help
regulate the building’s temperature and manage storm water. Its construction materials are
consistent with the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) rating system to achieve a
Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED®) Gold Certification, the first District-owned
building to do so.
