Wow, I think it’s turning out awesome. What do you guys think – thumbs up or down?
Here’s a reminder of what Frazier’s looked like when it was covered in formstone.

Check out the progress at the Wonderbread Factory near the Shaw metro on S Street.

Quite a change from 2011:
Dear PoPville,
Looks like Douglas Development and subcontractor McCullough Construction are close to breaking ground at 2221 14th Street NW, a 30-unit residential building with ground floor restaurant/retail at the corner of 14th & Florida, the former Latino Auto Sales lot. McCullough is the same group that brought us the Room & Board Building, so I have high hopes for the project. Douglas’ website says the building is going rental and will feature mostly one bedrooms and some studios.
From Douglas Development:
New construction of a 6 story building featuring ground level retail/restaurant with the upper 5 levels featuring 30 apartment units. The building will also feature under ground parking for residents, balconies and bay windows.
Construction is expected to begin in early 2013.
Facts:
– 33,232 SF (2,792 SF retail)
– Acquired 2011; Redeveloped 2013-2014
– 6-story building
– 30 rental apartments
– 10 parking space below grade

2007
Kinda like our now and then series, “Only ____ Years Ago” will feature photos from my archives that have changed drastically from a particular year. We will start with a bunch of changes from 2007. Let’s kick it off with 14th and T St, NW. Anyone remember McKey’s Antiques?
2013
Dear PoPville,
My wife and I have noticed that the “Swiss Upholstery Shop” right next to the Cardozo-Shaw laundromat (at 11th and Fairmont) seems to be under construction of some sort. Do you know what the story is? The shop has been boarded up for years…is this a sign that the building sold?
1700 Euclid St, NW
Whoa – it’s been a while since I walked by. The corner is completely transformed (sadly can’t find my before photos.)
It will become “19 Luxury Condos” from Capital City Real Estate:
9th and Rhode Island Ave, NW
THe Revival of the Slum Historique building in Shaw continues to amaze me. The new barbershop that is set to open the first week of April is looking great:
Here’s what the building looked like in only 2010:

Tons of folks have been writing in asking about this development. Thanks to @vanessagwall who solves the mystery of 10th and M St, NW:
“Mystery hole at 10th and M now has permits up…2 family dwelling as suspected!”
Back in Nov. 2012 demo started on the stinky Safeway at 3830 Georgia Ave, NW. The hole has been dug and now the crane has just gone up. Thanks to Evan for sending the shot above and Claire for sending the shots below. And thanks to everyone else who sent emails.
