Project Overview

East of the River Smart Haven Initiative™

A Baccous Smart Infrastructure Program

The East of the River Smart Haven Initiative™ is a multi-year modernization effort designed to bring micro-edge building intelligence, AI-driven safety systems, and predictive maintenance technology to small residential properties across Wards 7 and 8.

This program introduces a scalable model for:

  • safer multifamily buildings

  • real-time compliance

  • modern contractor oversight

  • reduced operational emergencies

  • neighborhood stability

  • improved tenant experience

  • measurable building performance

Beginning with the 2025–2026 pilot at the Randle Highlands Smart Haven, the initiative will expand to additional buildings, integrate government-aligned safety dashboards, and support DC’s long-term goals around modernization, housing quality, and community resilience.
