The site 800 feet north of the Bethesda Metro station at 7750 Wisconsin Avenue will serve as Marriott's new <a href="https://www.mhqbethesda.com/project-overview/" target="_blank">global headquarters</a> opening in mid 2021, and include an "urban campus," chosen for its urban amenities and proximity to public transportation. The project will include a 244-room hotel operated by Marriott opening in 2022. <a href="http://www.bostonproperties.com/" target="_blank">Boston Properties</a> and the <a href="https://www.thebernsteincompanies.com/portfolio/marriott-headquarters" target="_blank">Bernstein Companies</a> jointly own the land and are co-developing the hotelier's headquarters, while Bernstein will solely own and develop the hotel. The projected $600 million project will be home to an estimated 3500 Marriott employees in the the 785,000 s.f. office building.<p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Dahlia Street is to become a main entrance and go through State Department's portion, which has promised to connect it through. Add to that 182 units of senior housing, 500 condos, 1200 apartments, nearly 200,000 s.f. of office, 150,000 s.f. of hotel, 260,000 s.f. of retail (including of course the 40,000 s.f.

Built in 1887, what began as an elementary school eventually turned into government offices, then headquarters for the DC Department of Fire and Emergency Services and Department of Corrections. Falling into disrepair, the building was vacated in 2013, but by then the District government was 5 years into a drawn-out process to select a developer for the site. After a scrum of community involvement and District guidelines, the development team of <a href="http://communitythree.com/" target="_blank">Community Three</a> / <a href="https://tortigallas.com/" target="_blank">Torti Gallas</a> was selected to perform the renovation.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8FMZuDcZQMQgxagWdM-LpnswO7P2S4TizxPCPQ9qhEnHP1sHjkdxgytRUeeCIfzJbhHkitBnjnrx7IbKt-NMD_mfKkVJZv4Fu5USc_FX1eGIetUBpvARrWbgWswVdhbNNG5V-A/s2048/Grimke+School+15.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Grimke School Washington DC, Community Three Development, Torti Gallas Architects, Washington DC real estate" border="0" data-original-height="1363" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8FMZuDcZQMQgxagWdM-LpnswO7P2S4TizxPCPQ9qhEnHP1sHjkdxgytRUeeCIfzJbhHkitBnjnrx7IbKt-NMD_mfKkVJZv4Fu5USc_FX1eGIetUBpvARrWbgWswVdhbNNG5V-A/w400-h266/Grimke+School+15.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>click image for photo gallery</i></div><p>The District government awarded developers a 99 year lease on the building, and in <span>October</span> of 2019 Community Three / Torti Gallas ceremonially broke ground with a plan to restore the original school. The deal also included a fee simple sale of the parking lot, on which Community Three has built a 30-story condo project called the Fold, at the corner of 9 1/2 and U Streets, another 38 units will replace the school gym as the next phase of development. The revitalized school will offer 45,000 s.f. of office space, 3,000 s.f. of retail, and deliver 16,000 s.f. of "municipal" space. An agreement was reached early to house the African American Civil War Museum in 12,000 s.f., and earlier this year Torti Gallas, the project architect, <a href="https://tortigallas.com/news-events/the-grimke-school-tg-ps-future-home-breaks-ground" target="_blank">announced</a> that it will move a "substantial" portion of its Maryland-based practice to the school when the project completes in Q2 next year. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It may seem impossible that such a gargantuan undertaking has gone through what seems like interminable planning, but two of the first phase of buildings will deliver early next year. The project runs the risk of being both overhyped and understated - DC began planning in earnest in 2006, chose the master planner in 2013, purchased the land from the Army and transferred the site to its developers in 2016, and the first delivery arrives in 2021, with every year in between reporting significant but shifting details. And still the scale defies casual understanding, a 110 acre parcel, largely inaccessible and hidden behind walls, destined for 3.1m square feet of development just on the public portion (the State Department will take the western third of the site) producing over 2100 units of housing, 300,000 s.f. of office, 175,000 s.f. of retail and public spaces.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNsvC8w_yqQxXy6jBSzQ7eHj9p2j2T-v4tAox4a4t8SQ0VeMk2zeXJt5GylpbBBhHkzns1o0BZ3v-WldB9hZAg4JhrroHdKc_51_yEZGA4buOvm5QfU1LoQ9SnvwrebCm5ihfUGw/s2048/Walter+Reed+16.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Parks at Walter Reed, Urban Atlantic, Hines, Triden, Washington DC, retail for lease, new construction, Torti Gallas" border="0" data-original-height="1363" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNsvC8w_yqQxXy6jBSzQ7eHj9p2j2T-v4tAox4a4t8SQ0VeMk2zeXJt5GylpbBBhHkzns1o0BZ3v-WldB9hZAg4JhrroHdKc_51_yEZGA4buOvm5QfU1LoQ9SnvwrebCm5ihfUGw/w400-h266/Walter+Reed+16.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>click on photo for picture gallery</i></div><p>Technically, the site has already delivered its first housing - 91 units of affordable housing to former military personnel in a refurbished building, but two new buildings, the <a href="https://www.citygriddc.com/post/the-brooks-at-walter-reed" target="_blank">Brooks</a> and the <a href="https://www.hines.com/properties/the-parks-at-walter-reed---the-vale-washington" target="_blank">Vale</a>, will deliver 89 condos and 300 apartments next quarter, the first new buildings of the site.

Originally the site of a deep water landing when first mapped in 1749 by a surveyor and his young assistant, George Washington, the land had once one of the busiest seaports in America but was gradually filled in. The nearly complete project consists of 70 condos in 3 buildings facing the water, as well as 26 (already completed) townhomes.

At least until next month, when <a href="https://www.riverpointdc.com/" target="_blank">RiverPoint</a> opens at the southern tip of Buzzard Point with 485 apartments and 70,000 s.f. of retail next month. The southwestern promontory of DC was, not long ago, an industrial no-man's land, but real estate development has <a href="https://www.citygriddc.com/post/buzzard-point-s-turning-point" target="_blank">recently and rapidly shifted the landscape</a> toward much trendier uses, including a strong retail presence on the waterfront. The mixed use project by <a href="http://www.akridge.com/property/133/2121FirstStreetSW#description" target="_blank">Akridge</a>, <a href="https://www.westdev.com/" target="_blank">Western Development</a>, <a href="https://orrpartners.com/dev-residential.html" target="_blank">Orr Partners</a> and Jefferson Development Group is close to completion on what is very nearly the southern tip of southwest DC. The conversion of the former Coast Guard headquarters was achieved by <a href="https://www.antunovich.com/" target="_blank">Antunovich Associates</a>, the same firm that designed the conversion of the <a href="https://www.citygriddc.com/post/buzzard-point-s-turning-point" target="_blank">Watermark</a>, the <i>other</i> Coast Guard headquarters building a block away, another office-to residential project by Douglas Development that delivered this summer.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUe_fzU_CmbH5OeO5n-Csdsy17rsauy0XqITcv96ULVLdkp5RkHrRrb9F-Lmp4Ukm29OfYmf1BBY_SnRp9J8NhJ9uK_U5Hn-beFSarkmE0wNmffw8iTR-fFpE5wC-eMutPMOwDbw/s2048/Riverpoint+5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1363" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUe_fzU_CmbH5OeO5n-Csdsy17rsauy0XqITcv96ULVLdkp5RkHrRrb9F-Lmp4Ukm29OfYmf1BBY_SnRp9J8NhJ9uK_U5Hn-beFSarkmE0wNmffw8iTR-fFpE5wC-eMutPMOwDbw/w400-h266/Riverpoint+5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>In keeping with its location highlighting river views, RiverPoint features a rooftop pool with views that stretch well down the Potomac, and beyond the Frederic Douglass Memorial Bridge (still under construction). Development of the land also completes one more section of the <a href="https://waba.org/blog/2017/01/trail-is-integral-to-buzzard-point-park-plans/" target="_blank">Anacostia River Trail</a>, which will soon connect under the FDMB, making an easy walk or bike to the Navy Yard or Anacostia. 70,000 s.f. of retail will include restaurants by Greg Casten (of ProFish, Ivy City Smokehouse, Nick's Riverside Grill and Tony & Joe's), and by Spike Gjerde, a James Beard chef that until recently ran A Rake's Progress at the line hotel in Adams Morgan. Architect Joe Antunovich noted the challenges of converting such a large building from "a very sturdy headquarters, but we were able to carve out atrium spaces to let light deep into the building that created more views of the water." Antunovich called Buzzard Point "a sleeping giant, neglected for so long, and yet so close to so many things." The firm had to remove the second floor to accommodate retail, noting the unhelpful 10 foot slab-to-slab floor plates required removal of a floor to allow for 20 foot ceiling heights in the retail.<br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Ideas were bandied for a full renovation of the deteriorating school and public-private partnership to add neighborhood amenities along with development, presumably housing, on the site, by turning the school into a community facility of some kind. Following an RFP, the District government selected Ivy City Partners, a team comprised of StonebridgeCarras (now rebranded as <a href="https://stonebridge.us.com/" target="_blank">Stonebridge</a>), the Jarvis Company and Ocean Pro Properties in 2016. The team produced a plan for 343 rental apartments, approximately one-third of them subsidized, but detractors saw too much development and too little open space for the public.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr2McWSBWA27SYBpz4-gBRM2y3i5473xnc-0fhq-0nDC1FgG_KVhRiUpLO6IItVAjZJu8L_77LDpytrBomOJOjuiPb7IOVPb43MDcT3CImaMcu5tLCi9x-t3IstKu4s7Gg5DWR8A/s2048/Crummel+School+Ivy+City.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Crummell School, Ivy City, Washington DC development, Stonebridge Associates" border="0" data-original-height="1363" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr2McWSBWA27SYBpz4-gBRM2y3i5473xnc-0fhq-0nDC1FgG_KVhRiUpLO6IItVAjZJu8L_77LDpytrBomOJOjuiPb7IOVPb43MDcT3CImaMcu5tLCi9x-t3IstKu4s7Gg5DWR8A/w400-h266/Crummel+School+Ivy+City.jpg" title="Crummell School, Ivy City" width="400" /></a></div><p>Parisa Norouzi of <a href="https://www.empowerdc.org/parisa_norouzi" target="_blank">Empower DC</a> was against the original plan, which she contends left no room for a park, and allowed developers to build "right up to the edge of the school." Developers don't agree with that characterization, but some in the community fought for additional park space, Norouzi fought for "at least 1 acre" of open space. The DC Council finally held a hearing in 2018 to "surplus" the land, a legal step allowing development, but granted no authority. In February 2019, <a href="https://dccouncil.us/council/kenyan-mcduffie/" target="_blank">Councilman Kenyan McDuffie</a>, who's district covers the site, held a meeting with the developers and told the community they would now be given .69 acres of open space under a new plan, but the Mayor's office has moved the ball since. Norouzi argues for decoupling the development from renovation of the school, and getting the District to just pay for the Crummell School renovation, which in the current plan will be paid for by the developers, though that would still require a development plan. "This is a neighborhood without any parks, without any trees" she says. It <i>does</i> have a roastery, breweries, distilleries, ax-throwing, a day-drinking spot for parents, traditional retail, and some uniquely historic architecture, but some trees wouldn't hurt.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Expected to last 15 months when initiated, the monumental renovation is now expected to go through February of 2021. A leaky and moldy roof lead to the decision by the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/articles/thje-biofilm-removal.htm" target="_blank">National Park Service</a> to hire <a href="https://www.grunley.com/market-sector/museum-monument/thomas-jefferson-memorial-roof-and-portico" target="_blank">Grunley Construction</a> to replace two lower layers of the roof beneath the dome and clean the black biofilm (algae, fungi and bacteria) that has accumulated on the marble exterior. The entirety of the monument's exterior will be cleaned by laser, a new waterproof subsurface will be installed, and the front portico entry will be lifted and have its waterproofing replaced as well, and missing coffers and beams in the portico will get replacements, and all stone surfaces will be re-grouted and cleaned, keeping Mr. Jefferson dry.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjc6PiWcrulYVDBE72paY917Ggm2mzWTPUBB-kZFUwKijbzT7w-JqgSX0FVon4nRDJq6nqyNU-FQMEO8TnKMGPsnOHfuYPSNbEdObFq02GZ37sQLlS5Nm1u3AFLDKQLOtv-l5aLw/s2048/Jefferson+Memorial_00020.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1363" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjc6PiWcrulYVDBE72paY917Ggm2mzWTPUBB-kZFUwKijbzT7w-JqgSX0FVon4nRDJq6nqyNU-FQMEO8TnKMGPsnOHfuYPSNbEdObFq02GZ37sQLlS5Nm1u3AFLDKQLOtv-l5aLw/w400-h266/Jefferson+Memorial_00020.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">click image for photo gallery</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.citygriddc.com/1633p-street" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Washington DC retail for lease - 1633 P Street, NW" border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="1961" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXJDMdhm6lVUfbUxRgNp_PjXID4dCi-dKEg4ZRx5Zz6SGMtAxC8m2jrwfnExrG-NvgSoWCcW81Rtx29CliOEUkUFulX8oY79ghCZRbjzYcbAS1RexRkIenEQ5fhUg9cSlBT8m6GA/w400-h309/Instagram+Announcement.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />As to the extended renovation time, a park service spokesman says "a variety" of factors contributed to the delay; "Covid didn't help."

The latest of the projects is JBG Smith's apartment building, a 322-unit apartment building with retail, including an Orange Theory Fitness, along Wisconsin Avenue.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW4WWNQzB4JLs1UQKklW_gJtNcVCEQPyJ13LXi0PMpRxR8nmmlCsizT7l5gppK84xAVbI-lZIgfoGZwBPS-pcoxwB7DU9-SIfkU5l0njYzEIsZUb8uTPCMlM1mcCwFIFlBgLGkiQ/s2048/7900+Wisconsin+22.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="FXCollaborative, Bethesda, Woodmont Triangle, DC construction, JBG Smith" border="0" data-original-height="1363" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW4WWNQzB4JLs1UQKklW_gJtNcVCEQPyJ13LXi0PMpRxR8nmmlCsizT7l5gppK84xAVbI-lZIgfoGZwBPS-pcoxwB7DU9-SIfkU5l0njYzEIsZUb8uTPCMlM1mcCwFIFlBgLGkiQ/w400-h266/7900+Wisconsin+22.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>click image for photo gallery</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;">Of course the world has changed since the start of the project, and design of the 420,000 s.f. building was revised from including originally approved 450 apartments down to 322 units, increasing the unit size and maintaining the same building envelope. JBG declined to comment on the change. 15% of the units will be subsidized as required by the county. Designed by NYC-based FX Collaborative, the building parallels Wisconsin Avenue with a staggered glass panel design, saving its more attractive curvilinear brick exterior to face Woodmont Avenue. The 17 story project is expected to complete late this year, and will be joined shortly thereafter by the Marriott headquarters and hotel one block to the south.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Project:</b> <a href="https://www.jbgsmith.com/property/retail/7900-WISCONSIN/3313682" target="_blank">7900 Wisconsin Avenue</a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Renderings</b>: <a href="http://libovich.com/projects/60-7900-wisconsin-avenue?ref=aHR0cDovL2xpYm92aWNoLmNvbS9wcm9qZWN0cz90YWc9cHJvamVjdF9kZXZlbG9wbWVudC0yMi1tb2RlbGluZw%3D%3D" target="_blank">Libovich</a></p><div style="clear: both;

Catholic transferred the land, without city subsidy, to a development team chosen for its vision of a college main street. The first building was completed in 2014, and over the last 6 years added Catholic's book store, 27 artist studios, 700 residential units, and 80,000 s.f. of retail over 5 blocks along Monroe Street, including retailers Busboys & Poets, Chipotle, and Starbucks. Maurice Walters designed the buildings, the last of which is dubbed the Everton, while Torti Gallas was responsible for architecture and master planning throughout the project. Bozzuto was the general contractor and will manage the building's leasing. The Everton is expected to be ready for occupancy in a few months.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc9Cj8wnqeGkC-sTfbhXUuCr-6wfyaLaPlPDwI7DqiZBbDL7VYx4Fxg1SG_GniS5h3H4RPH4rHxc8atY6zdcWlZ194F-dL66mPq3ZelK-QsvzAqoHwRv4AloESJNCEL_6DGfIRew/s2048/Monroe+Street+6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

In one section, <a href="https://www.grosvenor.com/our-expertise/cities/washington,-d-c" target="_blank">Grosvenor</a> will be delivering 45 two-story townhouses, but that pales next to <a href="https://www.jbgsmith.com/property/residential/ECKINGTON-YARDS/3313821" target="_blank">JBG</a>'s project (a remnant of the Chevy Chase company that did not merge into JBG Smith), which adds 457 apartments and 179 condos, as well as up to 80,000 s.f. of retail, nearly one million square feet in total.<p></p><p>The 4-building complex, designed by architect <a href="https://eca-pc.com/work/eckington-yards/" target="_blank">Eric Colbert & Associates</a>, will divide the block with a woonerf, a crafty Dutch architectural landscape term (don't scoff, they <i>did</i> give us Manhattan) for a wide street that can accommodate cars (slowly) but is designed for pedestrians. That adds to the 603 units that JBG completed recently next door. JBG originally partnered with <a href="http://boundarycompanies.com/" target="_blank">Boundary Companies</a>, which was <a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/washington/news/2018/12/19/jbg-lands-a-new-partner-for-eckington-yards-as.html" target="_blank">bought out </a>by developer LCOR in early 2018.

Several of the 6 buildings that make up the hospital complex are meeting the wrecking ball this week as DC prepares for redevelopment of the entire site. The complex, which operated as a hospital since 1846, was closed in 2001, and operated as a homeless shelter for families from 2002 until 2018, giving way to <a href="https://dgs.dc.gov/page/dc-general-campus-improvements" target="_blank">Mayor Bowser's plan</a> to operate homeless shelters in all 8 wards. Demolition of the structure took place in phases, beginning in the autumn of 2018, the final building is scheduled to be demolished later this year.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDaM-vp74ScRHg8ph4SOvnU5j3ninOQjnfxKCQeiPTSQMIrcZtHRTt3dKZPQgAf_c8fwafLnQQnINCjyGlqJKn_hpZh5UtNWCCk8iHiFFoXb9O4tuevRnI9f1CbDSaiB_buoVysQ/s2048/9_00001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="DC Commercial Real Estate Observer - DC General Hospital News" border="0" data-original-height="1363" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDaM-vp74ScRHg8ph4SOvnU5j3ninOQjnfxKCQeiPTSQMIrcZtHRTt3dKZPQgAf_c8fwafLnQQnINCjyGlqJKn_hpZh5UtNWCCk8iHiFFoXb9O4tuevRnI9f1CbDSaiB_buoVysQ/w400-h266/9_00001.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">click on image for photo gallery</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In its place, the city has planned for a large, mixed-use complex dubbed <a href="https://dc.gov/hilleast" target="_blank">Hill East</a>, a 67-acre section of real estate bordering the Anacostia River.

To wit, Trammell Crow's project next to the Rhode Island Avenue Metro station had its share of detractors (supporters too), a vociferous few who decried the 9-story building (permitted by right) as out of sync with the neighboring townhouses. But the forces pro beat those in opposition, and the Reed Street project has now topped out in Brookland, on a two-block street off Rhode Island Avenue that has long served as a parking pad for trolleys, a Budget Truck Rental facility, car repair sites, and DC Duck Tours staging area, not to mention adjacent 5-story pop-ups nestled among the rows of townhouses.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;" trbidi="on"><img alt="2607 Reed Street advances near Rhode Island Avenue Metro station, developed by Trammel Crow and designed by SK&I architecture" border="0" data-original-height="1363" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1O4dqXaOPXqx_3CChhd3BOz1AXGvO9UnB98gO7MrhG7BdgNRSFyD-vWc2NSaxa6qMCbKyJqfSpmw0b7-aZvhZA3sqkVl_Gwf05tfXqwQ57irvxehYxrMUrhDCoAKqefuGQcgHg/w400-h266/Reed+Street+2.jpg" width="400" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;" trbidi="on"><i>click on image for photo gallery</i></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;" trbidi="on"><i><br /></i></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Trammel Crow acquired the lot in June of 2018 for $12.3m, on a site across from Douglas Development's <a href="https://douglasdevelopment.com/properties/channing-place/" target="_blank">Brookland Press</a> project, a 296 unit residential complex. The project, designed by SK&I Architecture and built by CBG, will add 353 apartments, 27 of them subsidized, with a top floor penthouse, roof deck and pool, sitting on top of an 85 space garage. The brick and glass structure exposes a curvilinear support column on the southwest corner, a nod to the street's industrial heritage. The developer has more recently begun <a href="https://www.trammellcrow.com/en/projects/armature-works" target="_blank">Armature Works</a> overlooking Union Station.

Vernon Triangle<div>At least some second waves are a good thing (too soon?). A new hotel in the center of DC's Mt. Vernon Triangle is adding to a surge of openings in the neighborhood, as Marriott prepares to open its AC Hotel near the Washington Convention Center at 6th and K Streets, joining a <a href="https://www.citygriddc.com/post/mt-vernon-triangle-hotel-tops-at-14-stories" target="_blank">soon-to-be Holiday Inn</a>, the recent opening of the <a href="https://www.thewilkescompany.com/lydian-at-400-k-street" target="_blank">Lydian</a> apartment building by <a href="https://www.thewilkescompany.com/" target="_blank">Wilkes</a>, and on the retail side, restaurants <a href="https://dc.eater.com/2020/7/31/21349758/rasa-indian-bowls-casual-restaurant-opening-mt-vernon-triangle-northwest-d-c-vegan-soft-serve" target="_blank">RASA</a>, <a href="https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/food/article/21142535/try-doro-wat-fried-chicken-sandwiches-and-juicy-burgers-at-mlange-starting-aug-28" target="_blank">Melange</a>, and <a href="https://www.baansiamdc.com/" target="_blank">Baan Siam</a> all debut their unique styles, while <a href="https://www.stellinapizzeria.com/" target="_blank">Stellina</a> will soon take the historic and relocated Waffle Shop.

The hotel is accepting reservations beginning October, but already improves the neighborhood with a geometric design that makes a statement among a fleet of newly designed apartment and office buildings. The project was developed by Douglas Development, designed by FILLAT, and built by CBG, expedited with the help of <a href="https://dcra.dc.gov/service/accelerated-plan-reviews-permit-approval" target="_blank">DC's velocity program</a>, a pay-to-play program that grants review and approval in as little as a day for a hefty fee to the DC government. The site was once home to a historic gas station, which Douglas preserved and moved across the intersection to the southeast corner. The new hotel will feature a ground floor cafe that will spill out onto the sidewalk, and a subterranean lounge. <b>Kenyattah Robinson</b>, the energizing head of the <a href="https://www.mountvernontriangle.org/" target="_blank">Mt. Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District</a>, says the neighborhood is well positioned to lead the city's resurgence, given its residential component and commercial mix. "We're still growing!"

If there was a moment for Buzzard Point, the tip of DC where the Anacostia meets the Potomac, it might have been the opening of Audi Field, bringing tens of thousands of occasional fans to southwest DC's formerly industrial and empty midpoint. But perhaps a more significant moment is the transition from parking lots and decrepit office buildings to actual neighborhood status, as long-planned real estate developments begin to fill with residents. Three recent developments alone add more than a thousand residential units to the waterfront, with <a href="https://www.peninsula88.com/">Peninsula 88's</a> completion this summer adding 110 condos to Buzzard Point's southern tip, Akridge's <a href="http://www.akridge.com/property/133/2121FirstStreetSW#description" target="_blank">Riverpoint</a> residential project converting the former Coast Guard headquarters into 481 apartments and 60,000 s.f. of retail (coming soon), and, beginning delivery this week, the <b>Watermark.</b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8c5LUBytHG1JjuC9N2HIGPhKvafTmiBp4L6GeuDv3b0mTlu7MY1i1AgnHuCLkdvIlIWDI0CvLmWJ_Gowt-MB2knWiO1kcl4UfqPrBd1eFdhX5Zw3qOVMJaRgt8pZ7C8-PO8t8PA/s2048/Watermark+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="Washington DC retail and commercial real estate development news" border="0" data-original-height="1363" data-original-width="2048" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8c5LUBytHG1JjuC9N2HIGPhKvafTmiBp4L6GeuDv3b0mTlu7MY1i1AgnHuCLkdvIlIWDI0CvLmWJ_Gowt-MB2knWiO1kcl4UfqPrBd1eFdhX5Zw3qOVMJaRgt8pZ7C8-PO8t8PA/w400-h266/Watermark+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">click on image for photo gallery</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
The residential project by Douglas Development turned an "E" shaped 9-story office building - one of 2 buildings in the neighborhood that housed the U.S. Coast Guard - into 419 apartments, 15,000 s.f. of retail and some of the top water views in the city. Amenities include views of the suddenly captivating <a href="https://www.citygriddc.com/post/washington-dc-archbridge" target="_blank">Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge</a>, and the building even helps fulfill the dream of DC's bikers with a new stretch of the eventual <a href="https://waba.org/blog/2017/01/trail-is-integral-to-buzzard-point-park-plans/" target="_blank">Buzzard Point Trail</a>, which will round Buzzard Point (avoiding Fort McNair) and connect with the Anacostia River Trail and the Wharf, which already connect well to the rest of DC and beyond. Add to that a short walk to Nationals Park and even shorter walk to Audi Field, which will someday (sigh) host public sporting events, and you do, in fact, have a legit neighborhood to call home.<br />

Replacement of the 70 year old Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge, aged well beyond its useful life, will improve a vital link across the Anacostia River when it completes late next year, but has already made its mark on Washington D.C.'s skyline. Built in 1950 as the South Capitol Street Bridge and serving "upwards of 77,000 cars per day" (pre-pandemic), the utilitarian structure has few admirers, but the replacement is destined to be far more appreciated. The concept took more than a decade to secure the $200m in federal funding, and is being lead by South Capitol Street Bridgebuilders, a joint venture of design and engineering lead by AECOM. The project broke ground in February of 2018. The project will not complete until late next year, but the dramatic arches will soon be fully connected.<br />

The new bridge, at 1445 feet, will have 6 traffic lanes (one more than the current structure) and parallel arches reminiscent of sine waves that appear from the sides to bounce off the water. An enhanced <a href="https://www.thewashcycle.com/douglass-bridge/" target="_blank">bicycle and pedestrian route</a> connecting the Suitland Parkway Trail and Anacostia Metro Station to the Anacostia River Trail, will add what the <a href="https://waba.org/details/south-capitol-bridge/" target="_blank">Washington Area Bicyclist Association</a> calls the "best bicycling bridge in the region." Four pedestrian overlooks - two on each side located at the nadir of each arch - will be suspended outside the bridge frame for unobstructed views. The project will also remake the interchanges at each end of the bridge, with traffic circles replacing the South Capitol Street interchange and the I-295 / Suitland Parkway interchange at the southern end.<br />

The Australian embassy on Scott Circle celebrated its 50th year in 2019, but that was its last, with demolition underway to build a new chancery seven blocks due north of the White House in the diplomatic heart of Washington D.C. Bates Smart, the Australian architectural firm that designed the original mission, has fashioned a replacement that will up the sustainability ante while "paying tribute to the unique Australian landscape." The embassy staff has meanwhile decamped at the <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.org/events/visit/" target="_blank">National Geographic headquarters</a> on 17th Street during construction, demolition of the structure is nearly complete.<br />
<br />
Having outlived its useful life - the familiar scaffolding and Australian scenery cocooning the building protected passersby from the crumbling exterior - its successor will be clad in vertical strips of glass, an interior atrium, and will be designed to achieve the "highest global environmental design standards available." A green roof with photovoltaic panels will top off the building, while the white Tennessee marble of the prior facade will be replaced by what its designers claim will be a slightly shifting facade, heavier on the north side where marble dominates, turning to a "crisp... vertical horizon edge" facing Scott Circle. The new embassy will take roughly the same shape, set back again from Massachusetts Avenue, when construction completes in mid 2022.<br />

The starburst intersection in northeast DC, a name given for the five main corridors that radiate outward is, like its astrophysical counterpart that generates exceptionally high star formation, the epicenter of a great deal of commercial development in a relatively small space. The next real estate project to complete, at the hub of the five corridors (Benning Rd., Florida Avenue, H Street, Maryland Avenue and Bladensburg Road) is the Delta Towers project that faces H Street but carries a Bladensburg Road address.<br />
<br />

The project is owned by the historic <a href="https://www.deltasigmatheta.org/" target="_blank">Delta Sigma Theta</a> sorority (founded by Howard University graduates), and includes the '60's era tower next door. Partnering with Dantes Partners and Gilbane Building Company, the new Delta towers will include 179 subsidized apartments entirely for seniors. The project is the culmination of decades of work, according to <b>Tom Donaghy</b> of <a href="https://www.kgdarchitecture.com/delta-towers/" target="_blank">KGD Architecture</a>, the project architect. On the design of the building for seniors, Donaghy noted the differences from traditional apartment buildings, such as differentiated designs and colors by floor to help with navigation and, to fight loneliness, a double-sided entrance that meets in a central gathering space, as well as universal design principals that make access within individual units easier. On top, the residents will have their own spaces for private gardens, and the Delta sorority will maintain their headquarters in the new building when it completes late this year.<br />

The <a href="https://www.wmata.com/" target="_blank">Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority</a> and Jair Lynch Real Estate Partners are jointly developing an office building adjacent to L'Enfant Plaza, a project that gutted and skinned a dated office building, and add 3 new floors to the 7-story skeleton. When completed in late 2021, the project will serve as the new headquarters for the transit organization, which is being relocated from 5th Street, NW, part of its consolidation plan into a 200,000 s.f. building.<br />

The Highlands, Penzance's new mixed use development on Rosslyn's highest perch, is still a year away but taking its final shape as the buildings have now topped out. Named for it's high seat atop the hill at Rosslyn's Highlands Park, the ambitious construction project includes 3 towers with a collective 884 units - 331 rental units spread over 23 floors at The Aubrey, 104 condominiums over 26 floors at The Pierce, and 449 apartment units in a 27 story tower at Evo. Both the Evo and Pierce top out at 270' above ground.<br />

The towers were built on the site of an office building owned by Penzance (1555 Wilson Blvd), and a fire station owned by Arlington county. The county gave Penzance a lease of up to 125 years (including options) for its site, with rent calculated based on land value minus the developer's improvements to the property, and included a new fire station incorporated into the project facing Wilson Boulevard.</div>

So far, CVS and Vida Fitness have signed as retail tenants, which together with the residents will be served by a 4 level, 1060 space garage below ground. Hickok Cole, the Georgetown-based architect designing two of the three towers (Evo and Pierce), is anticipating a LEED Silver rating for the buildings.<br />
<br />
While the Aubrey will sit on the west side of North Pierce Street - a new extension not in alignment with the existing street, Pierce (the condo) and Evo will share a "resort style pool and cascading waterfall feature" on the roof of Evo, according to <b>Rhea Vaflor</b> of <a href="https://hickokcole.com/" target="_blank">Hickok Cole</a>, while the condo will have its own private rooftop features, and in between will be a 3rd floor garden terrace overlook. Vaflor describes the buildings as "transformative" to that area of Rosslyn, with apartments "right-sized for the single professional and young couple" with high-end features. The project aims to finish in the 3rd quarter 2021.<br />

The second phase of the Flats at Atlas, the new apartment community in the Carver / Langston neighborhood of northeast DC, has now moved to exterior work, with completion slated for early 2021. The project, perched on a hill with direct views down Maryland Avenue, offers vistas that end at the Capitol dome for some of the 325 rental units. The project sits directly across the street from the Hechinger Mall, a parking-dominated strip that is <a href="https://www.bisnow.com/washington-dc/news/retail/developers-under-contract-to-buy-hechinger-mall-potentially-setting-up-huge-h-street-corridor-project-100466" target="_blank">also slated for redevelopment</a>.<br />

The first phase of the Flats, a 257-unit apartment building initially titled <a href="https://dcmud.blogspot.com/2010/09/clark-breaks-ground-on-arboretum-place.html" target="_blank">Arboretum Place</a> for its close proximity to the national gardens, was built by Clark Realty Capital in a two-year construction project that <a href="https://dcmud.blogspot.com/2010/10/first-piece-of-arboretum-place-puzzle.html" target="_blank">broke ground in 2010</a>. In 2016, Clark sold the project, including the completed Flats of Phase 1 and adjacent lot, to a JV between Kettler and <a href="http://www.westbrookpartners.com/overview.html" target="_blank">Westbrook Partners</a> for $95m.<br />

Just a block away from the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station, the new <a href="https://www.citizenm.com/hotels/united-states/washington-dc/washington-dc-capitol-hotel" target="_blank">citizenM hotel</a> and adjacent apartment building are near completion, with Certificates of Occupancy expected to be issued today. The project is the second portion of a two-phase redevelopment, which transformed an old firehouse and vacant lot into two hotels, first with the development of Hyatt Place, which required construction of a new fire house into the hotel at 400 E Street, SW. Phase two, now completing, started with <a href="https://dmped.dc.gov/page/450-6th-street-sw-old-engine-co-13" target="_blank">demolition of the old (non-historic) fire house</a> and forensic laboratory, and replaced it with a 253-key "European-style" hotel, 58 "deeply affordable" housing units for seniors 62 and older, 136 market rate apartments and 10,000 s.f. of retail.<br />

<br />
Development was a joint partnership between the District government, <a href="https://dcmud.blogspot.com/2008/06/fire-sale-of-land-in-sw.html" target="_blank">which issued an RFP in 2008</a> and <a href="https://dcmud.blogspot.com/2009/04/team-selected-for-sw-fire-site.html" target="_blank">awarded redevelopment rights in April 2009</a> to the <a href="http://www.400est.com/about.html" target="_blank">E Street Development Group</a>, which leased the land under the old fire station for a 99-year term. The buildings add residential density to what has been a predominantly office-oriented section of southwest. The design by <a href="http://www.fxcollaborative.com/projects/193/555%20E%20Street%20SW/" target="_blank">FxCollaberative</a> took advantage of the newly enacted changes to the height limit laws of DC to add additional height and activation of the roof. The District's issuance of a certificate of occupancy, expected today, clears the way for what is expected to be an imminent opening of both buildings.<br />
