[202_Cyclist]

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."

In other Potomac Ave news, the Harris Teeter at Jenkins Row will be closing.

"Fannie Mae's old headquarters is getting ready to spring back to life with a new neighborhood rising around it.

^690 units seems kinda low. Looks nice though. I dig that hut in the playground.

This will be a great improvement for the South Capitol Street corridor. There is a lot of loitering outside of the liquor store now and there was a shooting outside of it a few years ago: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...=.2782dc835474.

"The family who has owned the Cap Liquor store across from Nationals Park for more than two decades is looking to add more housing to the South Capitol Street corridor.

A zoning application has been filed to replace the building and parking lot with a 10-story, 49-unit development with 3,500 square feet of ground-floor retail and 4,560 square feet of second-floor office space. The development will also incorporate the façade of the rowhouse at 1307 South Capitol Street SW."

^ That base is pretty weird

[SouthCentralPA]

I was visiting DC today and was again blown away by the amount of development happening. I wanted to get more photos but wasn't able to. But I did get a few, although they aren't the greatest.

First three are from a large development right next to the Nationals stadium. Not sure what this one is going to look like, but it was nice to see the cranes.





Last photo is near Union Market. Lots of other development that I wasn't able to get pictures of!

Thank you for posting the photos. The development in the Capitol Riverfront/Navy Yard, across the street from Nats Park is the Parcel H development, which will have 500 residential units. Here is information from Urban Turf.

Wow, thanks for sharing!

According to SWill, construction is beginning for the residential development at 1319 South Capitol Street, SW.

DC has always stolen workers from nearby cities. Stole me from Philadelphia 15 years ago. Better pay and better opportunities for me in DC (although I was shocked by how much more expensive it was to rent an apt when I moved here).

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).

SouthCentralPa and 202_Cyclist:

What's going up now is Parcel I, right east of Parcel H. Both lots are blocked off for the construction. Parcel H will probably be next very soon.

"A year after a zoning application was filed to convert the Cotton Annex in Southwest DC into a residential development, the developer is looking to make some tweaks.

Douglas Development has applied for a modification to last spring's zoning approval in order to adapt and construct an addition to the historic building at 300 12th Street SW (map), seeking to deliver 564 residential units rather than 610 units. According to the application, the reduction in units would ensure that units do not have an awkward configuration..."

"The plans for Shaw's Parcel 42 have come into focus after the site lay dormant for years.

Dantes Partners will construct a 10-story building with 110 apartments above retail on the 15,317 square-foot, city-owned site at 1707 7th Street NW.

^Love it

[SouthCentralPA]

Very interesting! I like the curves and the setbacks. Cladding is just okay, in my opinion.
