It’s actually at 1324 14th St, right? 1345 is the Lustine Realty Company building

The National Trust for Historic Preservation blog is following the renovation, if anyone’s interested. http://blog.preservationnation.org/2012/03/06/restoration-diary-inside-out-gutted-building-alert/

I like the old businesses too but most of them are just trying to operate in them as long as they can and not put a dime into their actual buildings maintenance. I’d much rather have a developer come in and stabilize and restore these beautiful old buildings rather than have them be razed due to neglect. Plus, the developers are putting residents in the upper levels which was not the case with the previous ownership. We need more residents in our neighborhood, not empty dwellings. And don’t let the NIMBYs in the U street area scare you with all the jibberish about new residents coming in and taking up all the parking and destroying the neighborhood, etc. Our neighborhoods are developing just fine from growth and there is nothing to be scared of.

How many overly expensive new condos can one location take? I’ve lived at Logan Circle since the bad old days. The redevelopment is nice, but I miss things like the locksmith, the lighting store, and even a grocery cheaper than Whole Paycheck.

I wonder if they’ll have a train set running around the lobby.

For those that know Lionel trains, the logo for the new lofts is fantastic.

The locksmith has been gone for quite some time.

Pretty nice building. Great location. CAS seems like a good developer who take their time with their designs. I looked at their project on N Street and all of the units were different and unique. Their website states that Snead Construction is owned by CAS. I’ll be curious to see final floor plans and pricing.
