Rauzia Ally moderates forum with D.C. mayor on revitalizing the district
Rauzia Ally, the managing principal of LEO A DALY’s Washington, D.C. studio, moderated a recent discussion called “Building The Future: DC’s Economic Landscape” at Georgetown University.
The event was hosted by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development to highlight the District’s approach to long-term economic vitality through federal portfolio management.
“We have reached a critical juncture where the Federal government can play a new and different role to support the continued development and growth of our capital city, by disposing of buildings it can no longer afford to occupy,” Ally said. “Here in the District, we must free up some aging or obsolete properties for more productive use.”
The LEO A DALY-designed 20 Mass project serves as a template for this kind of revitalization. A former dated federal office building, it was transformed through adaptive reuse to a vibrant, placemaking gem with retail, offices and a luxury hotel.
