Now known as Modera Sedici, this 135-unit residential community occupies the former Italian Embassy at 2700 16th Street NW — a distinguished 1925 example of Beaux Arts design in the Italian Renaissance style that served as the embassy until 1977. After years vacant, Valor acquired the property and secured both the zoning and Historic Preservation Review Board approvals to bring it back to life, with MillCreek Residential as venture partner and constructor delivering the high-end homes.
