The six-condo Bowie is the first net-zero-energy residential project in Washington, according to developer Marc Bassin. As part of the rowhouse’s renovation, changes were made to promote energy efficiency and other traits favorable to the environment. The project’s eco-friendliness is especially important to Bassin, a broker at Jones Lang LaSalle and advocate of environmental protection for whom real estate development is a side gig.
