Development

“Why would this be happening?”

“Dear PoPville,

Here’s a riddle…why would you replace roof shingles on an abandoned apartment building that’s supposed to be knocked down at 6th between M and N?.”

UPDATE from BLDUP:

“After abandoning plans to develop a 360-unit project at 1200 Fifth St. NW, MidCity has now sold the 2.1+ acre property to The United House of Prayer For All People for $26M.

The property is located across from the church’s 6th Street facility. Due to a number of factors, including the delay related to the DC Court of Appeals process, MidCity decided that the future redevelopment of the property will occur in accordance with the matter-of-right development standards.”
