Not necessarily downwash, but turbulence, yes.

Anything upwind, such as a tree or building will give you turbulence.

Wind turbines are well known for their turbulence and they are deriving thrust, not imparting it.

And don't overlook short finals/ flare/ float is the most vulnerable phase of flight.
