MIDLAND, VA / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / Smith-Midland Corporation (NASDAQ:SMID), a leading producer of innovative precast concrete products for infrastructure, transportation, and building construction, announced it will manufacture and supply $1.6M of its proprietary SlenderWall architectural precast cladding system for a new luxury residential redevelopment project located in Washington D.C.
The project incorporates Smith-Midland's SlenderWall system, a lightweight architectural precast panel system with integrated steel studs designed to reduce structural loads, while delivering durability and architectural versatility. The panels will be manufactured at Smith-Midland's Virginia plant, with production scheduled to begin in May 2026 and on-site erection expected to start in September 2026. The project is owned by Morningstar Community Development and constructed by Orion Habitats Company.
"SlenderWall continues to be an ideal solution for urban redevelopment projects where structural efficiency and architectural design must work together," said Matthew Smith, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Smith-Midland Corporation. "This project presented unique design considerations, including multiple building shape changes from the ground floor to the roofline, and SlenderWall's design flexibility allows us to accommodate those transitions while maintaining the project's architectural vision."
The facade design incorporates a ribbed form liner pattern, adding visual texture and depth to the building's exterior. The panel layout required careful coordination to address the building's changing geometry as the structure rises, highlighting the versatility of the SlenderWall system in complex architectural applications, adding to Smith-Midland's growing portfolio of SlenderWall installations across the Mid-Atlantic region, where the system is increasingly used for multi-family, mixed-use, and urban developments.
