Mat, Thanks again for your support; and your point is well taken.
Quite nice… But a whole lotta price.
market rate?! that’s so awesome. I thought this was going to be section 8.
especially because it’s owned by UHOP. Glad it’s market rate. Places look nice, building as a whole looks nice and compliments the new library.

The prices sound pretty high for that neighborhood until you see how huge the units are. Not bad at all!
$$$! (but I imagine they’ll rent anyway)
Holy crap! These are soo expensive, too expensive for that neighborhood. They do look nice though.
ha ha ha “too expensive for that neighborhood.” I’m guessing you don’t live nearby.
2 br 1ba is $2700. Extra $175 for parking. Damn.
Holy ’90s Batman, what an eyesore! It’s hard to believe, but it’s even uglier in person.
Insanely expensive to boot.

Noah: so right. Might be award winning architect, but the boxes painted weird colors will be soooooo dated in about 9 months, just like these nouveau riche sinks and faucets folks are falling for. What about something traditonal and timeless.
every time i see this building i think of Fanta soda with the Fanta girls chanting”Dontcha wanta Fanta Fanta” Grape, Strawberry, Orange.
Thank you POP for providing space to vent esoteric crap like this!
The facade completely changed from what was presented to the public and at the ANC meetings. Now we’ve got a brand new building that looks like it was built with bad taste from 40 years ago.
It looks like a Rubix cube.
Ok, I have to ask, what is the “Howard Theatre District”? I like the balconies – price would be right if it were a little closer to Logan or to U St, but I suspect given the demand in the market this time of year that they’ll be able to rent all of them out easily.
i like it because it has balconies
This is a brand spanking new eye sore!
Has someone already made the “Bailey Park”/ “Potter’s Field” joke from “It’s a Wonderful Life,” yet? Just me? Okay. Moving on.
That is one U-G-L-Y building from the outside……almost as ugly as the Floridian located near the 930 Club!!!!!!
I live near the building. The price is pretty spot-on for the neighborhood and I like the colors.
2 BR 1 Bath 1200 sq ft, brand new construction at $2700 + 1/2 block from the metro? That’s market rate. My partner and I rent our condo (2br 1bath) a block away for the same price w/ parking. We had a gigantic pool of potential candidates to choose from. This building will sell out.
My three year old daughter calls this the ipad building because of the coloredpanels. But Apple has much better taste in colors. The interior is nicer than i expected. The shaw library is an example of great architecture. You can hardly compare the two
