The Dresden Condominium

The Dresden Condominium, one of Washington’s most iconic historic residential buildings, engaged Fletcher Consulting to serve as Owner’s Representative in developing a comprehensive 10‑year master plan to address long‑deferred maintenance and upcoming capital improvement needs.

With its architectural significance and aging infrastructure, the property required a disciplined, forward‑looking strategy to preserve its character while ensuring long‑term building performance. Fletcher led a full assessment of existing conditions, working closely with engineers, specialty consultants, and the Board to identify critical building systems, envelope concerns, and lifecycle priorities. The resulting master plan established a clear sequence of capital projects, aligning scope, timing, and operational impacts to support both near‑term needs and long‑range stewardship of the historic residence.

A key component of Fletcher’s work involved developing funding requirements and financial strategies to support the plan. Fletcher analyzed project costs, reserve needs, and potential funding mechanisms, providing the Board with a realistic roadmap for implementation and long‑term financial planning.

Through thoughtful leadership and a structured planning process, Fletcher delivered a master plan that equips The Dresden with the clarity, prioritization, and financial framework needed to protect and enhance this landmark property for the decade ahead.
