Tue, 28 Feb 2012 17:56:06 +0000 http://www.princeofpetworth.com/?p=57969#comment-447544 As a property owner in this area, all I can say is that this building is indeed quite a monstrous building. On the same token, this prime real estate was due for a change; granted the developers are taking it a bit far and trying to price EVERYONE except the wealthy out of the area. The area was in need of development because the building were old and of no real use. Personally I would have preferred a more “muted” building that fit in a bit better with the surrounding architecture, but nonetheless this was going to happen sooner or later. It’s a mixed bag for me, my property values are going to increase, but on the same token there are not going to be many people who resemble me in the area any longer which is a far cry from the late 90′s. Oh well…what can I say, that seems to be the plan for all of NW anyway!

Even without McD’s in the building, the structure strikes me as pretty bland and uninspiring. Is it just that some local activists don’t like modern architecture?

If they get priced out of 14th Street, they are welcome to move to Petworth, we could use them.
