Several of the units are accessed through a courtyard between the two structures. The courtyard area includes a number of outdoor stairways and various private and common decks. The property was developed in the mid 1990’s by Keener Squire, who also completed such notable projects as the 2006 extensive renovation and restoration of the 300+ unit Chastleton located at 16th and R St NW.

Although the listing agent of the subject property for today’s Good Deal of Not Revisted (GDoN-R) did not identify the neighborhood as Truxton Circle, I would have placed it there. P Street is a few short blocks south of where the original Truxton Circle” once existed. In October, I profiled a GDoN-R property on New Jersey Avenue located just a bit south and west of the Truxton Circle neighborhood. I made mention that Truxton Circle is certainly picking up, to which an anonymous commenter responded, “Truxton Circle is not ‘picking up’”.
