Innovation Square (IS) is a strategic investment project that targets and catalyzes real estate development in the Fairfax neighborhood. Innovation Square leverages a section of the neighborhood in close proximity to anchor institution development and a long-promised transportation project that has become reality. The first phase, “Playwright Park” is designed to celebrate the neighborhood’s rich cultural history and neighborhood asset, Karamu House, the first multicultural theater in the United States.

IS was designed to provide new, better, and more varied full-spectrum housing options to expand the residential population including mixed-income multifamily units, single-family for sale homes and rental townhomes.
