Real estate management, development and design company Method Co. and owner and developer JBG Smith has announced the opening of Whyle at 900 W. Street NW, a new short-term rental concept in D.C. The property includes 95 one- and two-bedroom apartments.

The community provides an alternative to traditional rental living and consists of high-styled furnished apartments that can be booked for as little as 30 days or as long as a year. Located in the U-Street Corridor of the Shaw neighborhood, Whyle is situated within an industrial-style development featuring two towers designed by New York-based Morris Adjmi Architects and developed by JBG Smith. Amenities at the community will include a rooftop lounge and pool, fitness center and a yoga studio as well as onsite parking.

“Whyle is reimagining the way that people view and experience furnished rental apartments,” said Randall Cook, CEO and Co-Founder at Method Co. “We chose D.C. as our first location to launch because it’s a city that attracts people from all over the world for varying lengths of time. In the past, short-term residents only had two housing options: either lease at a rental building or book short-term accommodations that might not feel so welcoming. We are filling a need in the market for high-design residences, customized to feel like home, that offer flexibility for different stay lengths with as little as a 30-day commitment.”
