I’m digging this pop up (I think it’s a pop up) on 5th St, NW just off Florida Ave.
I haven’t seen windows off the side like this before:
What do you think – thumbs up or down?
Anyone know if this is a pop up or completely new construction? Either way, do you think it has potential for turning out nice? It’s from 9th and Euclid St, NW in Columbia Heights.
655 K St, NW
This will be the future headquarters of the American Association of Medical Colleges. What do you think of the rendering – thumbs up or down?
It’s also the spot where they moved all the buildings:
Not sure if this is the final color scheme but any fans so far?
Back in May we learned about Tandoori Time and Via 19/Pho DC closing in the retail spaces of 1140 19th St, NW. A reader mentioned a major renovation was on the way and now we can see some renderings. From Showcase:
“New multi-million dollar renovations planned in 2012-2013 including an all-glass façade, private terrace overlooking the bustling retail corridor, and a modern two-story marble lobby.”
Sweet!
I think this one came out really good. What do you think – thumbs up or down?
It’s yours for $1,195,000. You can see photos of the inside here.
The scaffolding has come down from the new building on 6th St, NE just south of H Street.
Do you like the way it turned out?
If you have any fun or interesting animal/pet photos please shoot me an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say the name of your pet and your neighborhood. If you’ve already entered your pet and would like to do so again – that’s no problem – just space the entries out a bit.

Check out the new NYU building on the 1300 block of L Street, NW. What do you think so far – thumbs up or down?
The NYU Web site says:
In fall 2010 New York University held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Constance Milstein and Family Global Academic Center, a new facility in Washington, DC, establishing the University’s permanent presence in the nation’s capital, and expanding NYU’s network of study sites around the globe. The Center is named for NYU Trustee Constance Milstein in recognition of her $10 million gift to help establish the new site.
The facility itself will encompass a 12-story, mixed-use building, with 75,000 square feet of space. It will be centrally located in Northwest Washington, just blocks from the White House, the World Bank, and the Smithsonian, and adjacent to the cultural attractions on DC’s 14th Street corridor.
Designed by the award-winning firm of Hickok Cole Architects, the building will serve a variety of functions. The lower levels will feature seminar rooms, meeting spaces, and offices, as well as a 200-seat auditorium and an expansive lobby that will double as a student lounge and a venue for public events. Above, there will be five floors of dormitories and a few visitors’ apartments. In addition, the NYU Office of Government Relations and Community Affairs, and the Brademas Center for the Study of Congress will establish satellite locations within the Center. Importantly, the building will embrace NYU’s commitment to sustainability, targeting Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
