Plans for former SunTrust site in Adams Morgan include plaza, stage

State of play: Nonprofit Jubilee Housing's initial plans for a subsidized housing complex at the site show 50 units across seven stories.

• The ground level will have retail and a public plaza, per the proposal, with a stage and displays acknowledging the deadly 1922 collapse of a theater formerly located there, plus the area's history of resident activism against redlining.
• Also included: A parking garage level and a penthouse with office space and a community room.

The development will be available to households at or below 60% of the area's median income.

Catch up quick: Controversy sparked in 2016 when The Wharf developer Monty Hoffman proposed building a high-end apartment complex on the property.

• Two neighborhood groups sued, saying the 4,000-square-foot plaza was dedicated to the public by previous owners.
• Last year, Truist Financial Corp., which owned the land, donated the space to Jubilee.
