I know it’s hard to judge these building before they are completed but I like comparing them during and after construction. This one is located on Rhode Island Ave near 5th Street, NW. I think the front seems quite promising. Any initial impressions?
I like finding these small ones that are recessed from the curb a bit.
Hmm, I should’ve got a closer shot. But I think the white “frame” is really unusual. This is from 16th Street. Any fans?
DCFD represent!
This could be a potential re-PoP but I really like the detail up top as well as the curved rooms on the first two floors.
Dang I can’t remember what street this is. Oh well. I’m curious what you think about the one on the left. Do you think it works with the older style one on the right? I think the symmetry of the block looks pretty cool. Thumbs up or down?
Last week we looked at the outside of the newly completed Allegro apartments. I took a tour of the inside on Friday. I have to say, it was pretty amazing. Of course, you pay for amazing. From the outside of 3460 14th Street you can’t tell just how huge the place is. There are two courtyards (at the time still getting their final touches but both will have wifi) and 297 units. Units range from studios ($1525-$1775), one bed, one bath ($1775-$2175), one bed, den, one bath (($1900-$2650), Two bed, two bath ($2450-$2725) plus a series of penthouses (ranging from $2450-$3750). At the moment 2 months free rent and one time $500 common charge are being waved if you move in by May, 31st. There also will be a fitness room, yoga room, billiard room, media room and cyber cafe. There is no pet weight restriction though certain breeds like pitbulls are not permitted. If you’d like to check it out yourself they’ll be having a party Wed. night from 6-9pm.
Lots more photos after the jump. (more…)
Another one for the Art Deco fans. I posted a few very similar to this one but this one on R Street seems to be in the best shape.
Gotta love the castle houses. This one also has a pretty sweet doorway.
We last looked at this home on V Street (just east of 14th Street, NW) just a few weeks ago. But, wow, is it wild to see it change. I had no idea there would be so many windows. Per usual, what do you think of the construction as well as the “fit” on the block?
