DeSoto Apartments

The Desoto, 1445 P St., NW, Washington DC
The Desoto apartment building is a 7-floor, 66 unit apartment building located in the heart of the Logan Circle neighborhood. The Desoto aims for the loft style prevalent in Logan, with floor to ceiling windows, polished concrete floors, stainless steel appliances, sisal bedroom carpeting, and exposed ducts. The building was completed in 2003 - one of the early multi-family buildings in the area - designed by SK&I Architectural Design Group and developed by PN Hoffman and SJG Properties.

The DeSoto is named after the car maker, sitting as it does in the heart of what was once "auto alley," where cars were sold and repaired once upon a time. But pedestrians have reclaimed the scene, and the area is now much better known for the Whole Foods across the street. The DeSoto Apartment building is the sister building to the Hudson, located next door. Parking is available in the two-level garage below, and small pets are allowed.

Woodward Building Begins Transformation to Apartments

The Woodward Building, an historic 11-story steel- frame landmark located at 15th and H Streets, NW (733 15th Street) near the U.S. Treasury, has begun a major transformation from shabby office space into a luxury apartment building. The Woodward, originally constructed in 1910 for the owner of the Woodward & Lothrop department stores, has housed untold numbers of lawyers, bankers, and most recently an eclectic bunch of associations. The Woodward Building's owner, SJG Properties, is constructing 189 high-end apartments renting from about $1,300 a month for a studio to $4,500 a month for a 1,500-square-foot unit. There will also be 10,000 square feet of retail space and parking for 130 cars. SJG hopes to have the renovation completed and the apartments ready for occupancy by the Fall of 2007.
