About this home
Marcus & Millichap is pleased to exclusively present Shaw Duo, a portfolio sale of two fully renovated four-unit apartment buildings located at 1500 Columbia Road NW (4 -3BR/2 BA) and 543 Florida Avenue NW (4 -2 BR/1 BA) in the highly desirable Columbia Heights / Shaw submarket of Northwest Washington, D.C. The offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire two renovated, multifamily assets with strong in-place cash flow, multiple exit strategies, and long-term appreciation upside in one of the District’s most resilient rental markets.
The portfolio consists of eight total units across two separately metered buildings, offering buyers flexibility to acquire individually or as a combined investment. Both assets have undergone substantial renovations, including modernized interiors and upgraded building systems, reducing near-term capital expenditure risk and providing immediate operational stability.
From a financial standpoint, the properties deliver attractive going-in cap rates ranging from approximately 6.99% to 7.39%, with NOI of approximately $271,000 combined, and strong Debt Coverage Ratios (1.30x–1.38x). Shaw Duo offers strong in-place income, and market-supported rent growth in a low vacancy submarket.
These four-unit buildings also present an exceptional opportunity for owner-occupants seeking to offset housing costs through rental income. FHA financing is available for qualified buyers, significantly expanding the buyer pool. In high-cost markets such as Washington, D.C., the 2026 FHA loan limit for a four-unit property is approximately $2.4 million, allowing buyers to acquire these assets with low down payment requirements while benefiting from market-rate rents.
With close proximity to Howard University, this opportunity is also well-suited for parents purchasing housing for a student while renting the remaining units to fellowstudents or young professionals. This strategy enables parents to convert housing expenses into a long-term investment, offset ownership costs through rental income, and retain a highly marketable asset upon graduation.
The unit layouts, neighborhood amenities, and transit access align well with student and early-career renter demand, making this a compelling alternative to traditional student housing or condominium ownership.
Columbia Heights remains one of Washington, D.C.’s most transit-oriented, and demographically diverse submarkets. Anchored by the Columbia Heights Metro Station (Green/Yellow Lines) and the 14th Street NW commercial corridor, the neighborhood benefits from exceptional walkability, dense retail amenities, and proximity to maj
