I'm sort of a sucker for a rounded corner that wedding cakes like that. It just feels like classic art moderne.

"In November, UrbanTurf reported on a proposed redevelopment of a church in Historic Anacostia. Now, we are getting a sense of how that project will look.

Bethel Christian Fellowship has applied for historic concept approval to incorporate the façades of the buildings at 2200-2224 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE (map) into a five-story-plus-penthouse development, delivering 38 residential units along with new church space. A rendering of the proposed project was filed with DC's Historic Preservation Office last week.

The unit mix will span from one- to three-bedrooms, and the church would have programmatic space and a child care on three floors. There would also be 20 below-grade and surface parking spaces. PGN Architects is the designer..."

ANC 6C discussed the residential development proposed for 899 Maine Ave SE yesterday. This is across the street from the Wharf and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture currently has offices at the location.

Urban Turf wrote about this development in September 2021: https://dc.urbanturf.com/articles/bl...he-wharf/18696 .

Any word on the redevelopment at 624 Eye St NW in Chinatown? I used to work just a block west of here and was excited to see the plans... but so far there hasn't been much action it seems? I just checked Google Streetview and the recent view from September 2021 doesn't appear to show any construction so far.

According to this website, it's currently under construction, but as I mentioned above, Google Streetview from September 2021 doesn't show any construction underway.

The developer has a hearing scheduled later this month to request a 2-year extension on the approval. They claim to have financing deal in the works and hope to break ground in 12-18 months. But, they have already requested several extensions since the initial 2016 approval, so who knows if they will actually pull it off this time?

"Last year, DC's Zoning Commission issued an order to rezone the site of a Howard University-owned office building across the street from Shaw/Howard University Metro station. Now, we are getting an idea of what is in the works for that property.

Quadrangle Development and Capstone Development are planning to replace the three-story building at 1840 7th Street NW with an eight-story, 204-unit development with 21,000 square feet of ground-floor retail.

^I hope that's cor-ten when it comes to fruition and not just a solid copper color painted metal panel like typical developer bait and switch.

Proposed Building B, looking northeast from Calvert Street.

"The plans for a massive residential project at the site of the former Marriott Wardman Park hotel in DC's Woodley Park are coming into focus.

A Carmel Partners-affiliated development entity has applied for concept review of a development that would raze and replace the vacant hotel with two serpentine buildings, delivering 900 residential units. The project would reduce the existing building footprint on the site, adding more than two acres of open space and improving the "front lawn" along the 2600 block of Woodley Road NW. Purchase of the hotel was finalized in November after a bankruptcy auction last year..."

I drove by Skyland Center a few weeks ago. It looks really good. I think that entire area - especially Hill Crest - is going to explode in a few years. Still kicking myself for letting my wife talk me out of buying in Hill Crest 10 years ago.
