From a press release:
“Aria Development Group has purchased the 25,000 square foot property located at the corner of Florida Avenue and North Capitol Street NE. The developer is planning a prominent mixed-use building for the site, which will include multifamily residential. This acquisition represents the culmination of three years of patient assemblage to connect tree-lined P Street NE with Florida Avenue and North Capitol Street.
“It’s a tremendous location,” said Aria Founding Partner Joshua Benaim. “It sits between the beloved neighborhoods of Bloomingdale and Shaw, Union Market with its new Trader Joe’s, and the office and transportation hub of NoMa. We are excited to help weave back together the fabric of this neighborhood.”
Aria is also nearing completion of The Clifton, a 156-unit multifamily building off the 14th Street Corridor. The Clifton represents Aria’s vision for thoughtfully designed, urban infill apartments with character. The Clifton will begin leasing apartments in early 2019. Aria is the creative force behind such other distinctive residential projects as The Bond in DC’s West End and the award-winning historic restoration of The Alden in Columbia Heights. Aria plans to bring the same sensibility and neighborhood vision to 1 Florida Avenue NE as it did to these other distinguished developments in the District. This acquisition represents Aria’s eighth multifamily or mixed-use investment in Washington, DC.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
