This is the new condo on 14th Street near Lyman’s and Red Deby who’s name was voted on back in April.

“Dear PoPville,
Holladay Corporation is the developer for planned “Logan 13” condos at former “Mr. Wash/Jerry Chan” site. Holladay also developer for existing The Matrix on 14th Street, NW plus future development at Alsco Plant/Linens site on 700 block of Lamont Street, NW. “
14th and Florida Ave, NW
Hard to believe this is the former Latino Auto Sales lot. Looking forward to learning who takes over the restaurant/retail space in this 30-unit residential building. Like the way the building is turning out?

“@PoPville Check out GW’s new Science & Engineering Hall opening next semester [22nd and H Street, NW]”
You can see his full flickr series here.
George Washington University’s website says:
“GW’s new, state-of-the-art Science and Engineering Hall will be a research and teaching hub in the heart of Washington aimed at fostering collaborations across disciplines and a dynamic, hands-on learning environment.
The nearly 500,000-square-foot, 14-story complex — with eight floors above ground and six below, including four for parking — is expected to open its doors in early 2015, just blocks from the White House, World Bank and State Department, and in close proximity to a host of other federal agencies and research centers.
The building will nearly double the space on GW’s Foggy Bottom Campus available to several scientific disciplines, including teaching spaces designed for a more hands-on approach to learning and highly specialized core lab facilities, such as a three-story high bay, a nanofabrication suite and a greenhouse.”

A reader shares from the Stronghold Listserv:
“Just wanted to provide you with an honest, sad update on the tiny house collective in the Stronghold alley. Over the past few years, tensions have risen as the owner of the widest house, and the lot has become increasingly aggressive toward us and the Stronghold neighborhood—repeatedly calling the cops on our neighbors with dogs, throwing a 2×6 in the alley to stop kids on scooters, criminally drilling into the streetlight and cutting the power to the lamp directly over the lot, reneging on our promises of a community garden, putting up “no trespassing” signs all along the property. Last month, Brian forcefully evicted Lee (the orange house) and then stalked her to her new location; this month, he has turned his rage on me.
He’s already cut power to the lot once and locked me inside, and as I’m writing this, he has taken the fence off behind my house (the black house) and threatened to have it towed away to parts unknown. So I’m writing for two reasons: first, because if I am pushed off the lot before getting a chance to say goodbye to some of you in person, I want to apologize for any grief this project has caused you, and to let you know that those of us who have left never wanted any part in the actions Brian has taken and will continue to take against you. I’m sorry.
The second reason I’m writing is to ask that if you happen to see a truck attempting to tow my house away, please call 911 immediately to report a theft in progress—Brian does not have legal permission to move the house. And if you see Brian behaving erratically or lurking around other streetlights along the stretch of alley, please don’t hesitate to report it to the authorities.
My sincerest apologies for anyone who has been negatively impacted by all this,
Jay”

When we last checked on the storage container apartments back in September construction was just finishing up – here’s the final product:

Renderings coming to life. You like the way the new Interdisciplinary research building is turning out?
It’s right next to the Starbucks and Barnes and Noble (did you know Georgia Ave had a Barnes and Noble?):

“Dear PoPville,
On Argonne Place NW, one of Adams Morgan/Mt. P’s hidden little streets, there’s a new developer monstrosity happening…call it a shove forward. This block has awesome Wardman-style porches, many with beautiful arches. The houses were built in 1920 and designed by Reginald Wycliffe Geare, the architect of the Lincoln Theater, and they are all nearly identical, but with little differences inside and on the porches. That is, until now, when the developer carving the house up into condos is seemingly turning the front porch into a room, blocking off everyone else’s view and light. It’s got this entire block up in arms and very upset, and I wonder if it’s going on in other places around the city. Help!”
Another reader tweets us:
“Visit Argonne Place, mid-block, to see the demolition of a 1920 Reginald W. Geare house. So sad. Not a popup, but an abomination.”
