The Battery Park Model
▼ Scroll to see floor plans, gallery & specs
The main level of the Battery Park is one wide, connected space — kitchen, great room, and dining flowing together with oversized windows pulling natural light deep into every corner. It's the kind of layout where a weeknight dinner and a Saturday night with twenty guests use the same room and both feel right. The front porch isn't decorative — it's where the house starts and where your neighbors learn your name.
This plan isn't tied to the address you saw on Zillow — that's just where the listing is anchored. The Battery Park can be built on your lot or on a property Paramount has identified for potential acquisition, anywhere across the DC metro. Paramount evaluates hundreds of lots, teardowns, and aging homes across the DC metro for potential acquisition — and our in-house architects handle the site-specific modifications. Tell us where you want to build.

How New Home Pricing Works
The price you see includes an estimated land allowance. Your actual investment depends on the lot — yours or one we've identified — along with site conditions, home size, and finishes.
Build it exactly as shown or change every detail — the strategy call is where we put real numbers together based on your priorities.
Here's how the process works. It's three distinct phases, each with a purpose:
Design & Selections
This is where your home takes shape. Plans are created or modified by our in-house architects. You choose finishes, fixtures, and layout — or let our design team handle it for you.
Permitting
We submit your plans and manage the approval process with your local jurisdiction. This phase runs in the background while final details are locked in.
Construction
Your home is built. Every decision has already been made, and the build moves with purpose. Most homes are completed within 15 to 18 months from lot selection to move-in, though timelines can vary based on design complexity, client selections and decision-making, and local permitting.
Whether you want to choose every tile and finish yourself or let Paramount's design team handle the selections for you, we match the process to how you want to build.
