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 renovate a 6,500 square foot historic bathhouse into a comprehensive community recreation center featuring a large meeting room, computer room, classroom, storage space, and restrooms. JAIR LYNCH also managed the development and construction of an Olympic-sized pool in a new natatorium behind the existing facility, which became the first public pool of this size in the District of Columbia. The 49,000 square foot building completed in 2005 also houses a weight room, aerobics room, concession area, and locker rooms.
