I think this plot should go residential instead of office. I hope they are considering that considering office space will not be the best use moving forward. Looking at the plans, they could open the courtyard area and build a residential tower with three sides.

I agree but I think that plot was always going to be office, no? Especially considering two of the five buildings were already residential.

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.

Part of the Walter Reed site is now open, I took some pics. It was interesting to see a part of the city that had very restricted access be opened up.

Historic fire station to be converted to studios, along with new residential buildings.

Looking toward the historic structures to be converted to various uses.

The historic main hospital is 300,000 s.f., to be converted to either residential or offices.

Looking north toward the new mixed-use development.

Mixed-use development u/c, a typical "town center" development.

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 conversion is in the works for Dupont Circle.

A Stanton Development-affiliate has applied for zoning approval to retrofit the interior of the five-story office building at 1312 18th Street NW (map) into a 15-unit "inn". The rooms would range from 260 square-foot studios to 600 square-foot one-bedrooms.

A new development on the boards can unironically describe itself in relation to The White House.

Foulger-Pratt has filed a zoning application to convert the 1990s-era office building at 1425 New York Avenue NW (map) into 255 rental apartments above 3,135 square feet of commercial space. The office building sits less than a block from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.

It is good to see more housing in a part of DC that hasn't seen much new housing in the past ten years.

"Six months ago, Federal Realty presented preliminary plans to redevelop the firm's Friendship Center building in Friendship Heights. Now, the public is getting a more detailed look at what will be proposed.

The developer will file a zoning application to modify the existing planned unit development (PUD) that delivered the building at 5333 Wisconsin Avenue NW in order to replace it with a 310-unit residential development above 12,000 square feet of retail. Plans were shared at the ANC 3E meeting on Wednesday evening..."

From Arts Space to Missing Middle Housing: A Proposal Off Georgia Avenue
Urban Turf
March 18, 2022
by Nena Perry-Brown

Quote:

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.

https://dc.urbanturf.com/articles/bl...a-avenue/19410

This would be 8 large units. Each will have 3-4 bedrooms and 3.5-4 bathrooms. That makes me think these are probably aimed as group housing.
