This place will get an amazing return on their investment, as there is nothing like it in the neighborhood....can't they do better with the design? Someone please help them!!!

Yeah, a big blank wall could look dead, but what else within 3 blocks shows design other than the Wardman-style townhouse design that blankets the area? This will be different - a good thing - and will also be fresh development in a neighborhood that needs it. The developer should get some credit for that, its easy to throw tomatoes anonymously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-86379137883600624932008-04-06T10:06:00.000-04:002008-04-06T10:06:00.000-04:00Thanks for the post DCRealEstate.Com.
