The Bixby was completed in 2016 as part of the Arthur Capper Carrollsburg HOPE VI redevelopment and includes a mix of affordable and market rate apartments. It stands on the former site of the Arthur Capper Senior Citizens Facility. The senior center originally at this location was built in 1958, closed in 1973 because of surrounding crime and vandalism, and reopened in 1981 as a 292-unit building for low-income senior citizens. The last residents moved out in early 2007 to a newer facility in the Capitol Riverfront neighborhood, and construction began in 2014 after financing was secured. Developed by the DC Housing Authority, Urban Atlantic, and Forest City Washington, now Brookland Properties, the Bixby spans the entire block of L Street, SE between 6th and 7th Streets and sits next to a surface parking lot planned as an office project.
