Thank you for posting the renderings of the Reston Town Center development. I posted some photos of this building in the Tysons thread this past summer.

Here is a small infill development near the Potomac Ave metro station. I looked at Google streetview and this is currently a two-story commercial building.

"Permit issued Friday to convert 1335 Pennsylvania Ave. SE, a block from the Potomac Ave. Metro, into an 11-unit apartment house with two-story plus penthouse addition. 9,630sf total."

I can relate, many years ago I almost moved to DC before deciding on Philly and I think about moving there often, was very close to moving there earlier this year. But yes the housing costs are a factor (although Philly is nowhere near the bargain that it once was and costs are increasing quickly).

The 10 projects selected by the Department of Housing and Community Development will receive more than $135 million from the Housing Production Trust Fund (HPTF) — the city’s primary tool for financing affordable housing amid a persistent and dire Districtwide shortage — along with tax breaks and the promise of vouchers to ensure some of the new affordable housing is available to the District’s poorest residents, D.C. officials said.

Among the 10 projects is the first affordable housing development in Ward 3 to be backed by the HPTF. The development will add 93 units to a Friendship Heights senior living facility known as the Lisner-Louise-Dickson-Hurt Home that will accommodate District residents “at a range of income levels,” according to D.C. officials."

"D.B. Lee Development has filed for a raze application to make way for a new hotel/residential/commercial project a block west of Nationals Park.

The application would kick off development of a ten-story-plus-penthouse building on the site of the auto repair shop at 45 Q Street SW, delivering 60 apartments above 190 hotel rooms and a 3,700 square-foot market and café.

The unit mix will span from studios to two-bedrooms with dens, and the five floors of hotel rooms are expected to be under the Moxy brand or something similar. The ground floor will have folding garage-style window walls between sidewalk seating and the market, and there will also be a rooftop restaurant/bar..."

I guess one step closer to the JBGSmith's redevelopment at the corner South Capital and M.

I can't find the latest plans, as of June 2020 it was going to be an office building with a residential building in future phase. However, I though it has subsequently been shifted to an all residential project?

Here's a tidbit that may be of interest to some. The vacant lot at 900 New York Avenue, NW, is owned by Kingdon Gould III and his firm Gould Property Group (http://www.gouldproperty.com/newyork_ave_citycenter.html). Kingdon acquired the lot in a trade with the city for land he controlled and owned where the convention center is now located.

Does the name Gould seem familiar? That's right. From the high school history books. Kingdon Gould III (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdon_Gould_III) is one of a long line of decendents of Jay Gould (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Gould), one of the so-called robber barons of the Gilded Age.

Yes, it has been proposed as office for over a decade when City Center DC was first proposed, but that was before COVID. Downtown DC as a whole is switching to residential with many office-to-residential conversions announced. Adding another 400-500 residential units to this area would help with vibrancy around that area too.

The next multifamily building at Southeast D.C. megaproject The Yards is set to break ground in less than three months, and the developer has brought a new multifamily concept to the market to operate the building.

Brookfield Properties is partnering with Urby, a multifamily operator that has four locations in and around New York City, to manage a 467-unit building at The Yards, the developer announced Tuesday. It said it plans to begin construction on the building in May and deliver it in November 2024.

Another DC arts space bites the dust.

The owner of the Emergence Community Arts Collective building at 733 Euclid Street NW (map), across the street from the old Banneker High School, has applied for zoning approval to replace the structure with four townhouses. The project would require the site to be subdivided into four record lots, resulting in four by-right attached houses per the site's RF-1 (residential flats) zoning.

I shared this in a Philly thread also and not a revelation really, but I enjoyed the article/stats nonetheless:

Baltimore, Philly housing prices 40% cheaper than DC

https://wtop.com/business-finance/2022/03/baltimore-philly-housing-prices-40-cheaper-than-dc/

The median price of a home that sold in the D.C. metro area in February was $526,000, up 10.6% from February 2021 and near an all-time high, but prices in two of our nearest big city neighbors are considerably less.

In the Baltimore metro, the median selling price last month was $319,000, or 39% less than the D.C. area. And in the Philly metro, the median selling price of $295,000 was 44% below the D.C. region, according to listing service Bright MLS.

Total active listings on the market in the Baltimore area last month were down 12.3% from a year earlier, and 64.3% below February 2020. In Philadelphia, the number of homes for sale was down 34% from a year earlier, and down 63.3% from two years ago.

As a result, there were fewer sales. Closed sales in Philadelphia so far this year are down 6.3% from last year, and down 8.9% in the Baltimore region. Inventory remained fairly steady in both D.C. and Philadelphia compared to the previous month, but the number of listings in Baltimore fell another 5.7%. The number of property showings by real estate agents was down about 8% from a year ago in Baltimore and about 9% in Philadelphia.

The three housing markets aren’t that different, but, particularly for the District itself, there is a distinct difference.

Would be amazing to get a Metro expansion that would serve this vast swath between the Orange and the Yellow/Green line. A line along US-1 or New York Ave and Blandensburg Rd or even just build alongside the Camden Line to College Park would be epic in its ability to transform the area. GGWashington did a story (https://ggwash.org/view/68145/green-line-prince-georges-county-biggest-missed-opportunity-dc-transit-history) several years ago about how the Green Line's route was initially planned to swing much further south than what was eventually built. If only...

I've always thought this routing could be worthwhile for a separated blue line. It provides something for Virginia, DC, and Maryland.

For Virginia, the separated blue line provides an opportunity for increased service on the blue, silver, and orange lines.

For DC, various areas receive new service including Georgetown, Thomas Circle (more convenient to the southern half of popular 14th Street), Mount Vernon Triangle, H Street & Starburst Plaza, along with the New York Ave/Ivy City area.

For Maryland, Hyattsville finally receives Metro service and depending on an additional station south of there near Bladensburg Road, Metro service could be close to Mt. Rainier, Brentwood, Cottage City, etc..

I read the proposed 11th Street Bridge Park has already raised $124M, an impressive amount.

Here’s What The Playground At D.C.’s First Elevated Park Could Look Like

"D.C.’s highly-anticipated elevated park pays tribute to our freshwater friends who may make the Anacostia River swimmable again… mussels! The forthcoming 11th Street Bridge Park will feature a “mussel beach” playground, where residents can enjoy the outdoors alongside shell replicas.

The 11th Street Bridge Park is a years-long, multi-million, public-private project to develop an out-of-use bridge into community space. The elevated park, a first for D.C., is slated to open by early 2025 and will rise above the Anacostia River. The new park, a partnership between D.C.’s Department of Transportation and the Ward 8 non-profit Building Bridges Across the River, opted to center mussels because of the work the Anacostia Watershed Society is doing to improve the water quality of the river that the park hovers over..."

This would be a great public/private partnership to deliver a new police and fire station, while adding more density along a prominent corridor. I understand people probably do not want to live directly above a fire station but in Southwest DC there is a fire station with a hotel above it that was completed a few years ago.

A U Street Police/Fire Station Pitched For Redevelopment

"A police and fire station along U Street could be the future site of a major redevelopment.

At DC's March Madness housing event last week, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was announced for DC fire station 9 at 1617 U Street NW and the Third District police station at 1620 V Street NW.

The RFP, which will be released in the fall, envisions a new high-density, mixed-use development at the site that will include the existing police station and fire station."

^^ There were plans for redevelopment of this site (including the parking garage) years ago when I lived in DC but NIMBYs squashed those plans. Will be interesting to see if this time it goes through. It would be great to see something similar to the West End fire station redevelopment on M Street. The top image is what it looked like when I first relocated to DC back in spring of 2011 and the bottom image is from last year.

A 10-unit infill residential development is planned for Georgia Ave, NW.

"Permit issued to convert 4012 Georgia Ave. NW into a 10-unit apartment building, with 5-story rear addition. Looks like much of that block has already been redeveloped."

A 50-Unit Residential Development Pitched For H Street Corridor

April 7, 2022
By UrbanTurf Staff

"One of the largest new developments in recent memory has been pitched for DC's H Street Corridor.

Plans recently filed with DC's Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) call for a six-story, 52-unit development at 814 14th Street NE. The existing properties at the address include two connected structures that were formerly used as halfway houses, and an attached row home. The plan is to raze these properties to make way for the new development.

The development, designed by architect Stephen duPont, Jr., will include commercial space on the cellar and ground floors, and the unit mix will range from efficiencies to two-bedrooms."
