“With Park Triangle in Columbia Heights up for sale, can you point readers to what happens if an apartment building goes condo?”
The reader is referring to a Washington Business Journal post:
Park Triangle, a luxury apartment complex in Columbia Heights that was completed in 2006, is on the market.
Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. is marketing the 117-unit building on behalf of its owner, Mid-Atlantic Multifamily Group. The building also includes 18,500 square feet of ground level retail space at 1370 Park Road NW.
This is the building above the Columbia Heights plaza.
We had a similar discussion when the nearby Allegro was foreclosed and later sold.
For the Park Triangle building I would be very surprised if the new owners immediately convert it to condos, I’d guess it will remain rentals. But just out of curiosity – does anyone know what happens when a rental building is converted to condos? Does the tenant get first dibs at a purchase?
For those who live at the Allegro and stayed through the sale – did you notice any changes? Was your rent raised/lowered?

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!
