57 N Street, NW
Wowza, first time I’ve walked past the new Chapman Stables in person. Hard to believe this was once the Brassknob Warehouse which closed back in 2010. Holy freaking mackerel.
And stay tuned for Republic Cantina coming here:

“Just saw the new development that will replace the old Rhode Island Ave Shopping Plaza located near the RI Metro station began its demolition of the shopping center… Excited for the Alamo DrafthouseCinema!”
Also coming:
“MRP is developing Bryant Street, a 13-acre site, as a residential-driven mixed-use community that will ultimately include 1,550 residential units and 245,000 square feet of retail.”
13th and Monroe Street, NW
Back in 2104 I had posted that the Mt. Rona Baptist Church was for sale in Columbia Heights. I guess it sold, whoa. Thanks to Jay for sending updated photos: (more…)
530 Morse Street, NE
Thanks to Grant for sending the update:
Stay tuned for 270 Units with retail on the first floor.
“Dear PoPville,
These flyers were on cars up and down the street today. One was stuffed in my mailbox (which any good dc political folk would know is illegal).
People are seriously off their rocker about this condo. Call out the tax abatement, I agree. But they don’t even talk about that on their ridiculous flyer.
P.S. The “last open green space” isn’t open to the public.”

Thanks to Jay for sending:
“Prob condos but haven’t seen anything online. Before photo first…
Now…”
Ed. Note: This is across the street from Philz and Tail Up Goat.
“Dear Popville, do you know the story about this building at 14th and Parkwood? Construction stopped years ago (on google map time lapse you can see construction started in 2014, and it’s been sitting like this since 2016). In an otherwise rapidly renovated area, why is this frozen in time? Wondering if it violates the height restriction because the door appears to be on the smaller street of Parkwood rather than on 14th. Does anyone know the story? Will it remain like this forever?”
14th and Decatur Street, NW
“Dear PoPville,
WMATA will be closing the bus barn on 14th St. between Decatur and Buchannan in fall 2019 and rebuilding the barn to include 55,000 sq ft of retail and public parking. It is scheduled to open in 2024. There is a community meeting at the barn on Monday, March 11 6:30 pm with WMATA and Brandon Todd. It would be great to expand this discussion.”
“Dear PoPville,
This house was under construction for a while, but for the last few months there hasn’t been any activity. When it was first breaking ground there were rumors of permit issues and that the neighbors were upset that it was built on a former small grassy area. Does anyone know what’s happening with it?”
