Church St. Project Breaks Ground

Developer DC Hampton has now broken ground on a 27-unit condo project on the 1400 block of Church St., one of the last developable sites on a uniquely industrial street - containing old warehouses and showrooms seldom found in DC - now all repositioned as swank condos by developers Metropolis and PN Hoffman. The condo project will turn a historic three-story commercial building into a 6 or 7-story condominium. The Logan Circle conversion should rise about 70 feet, surrounded by the Metropole, also under construction and slated to finish in mid 2008. The building was designed by Bonstra Haresign, construction by Camden Builders. The developer reports a handful of sales in an initial offering, with further sales to take place closer to completion.
