“Dear PoPville,
Noticed this listing in Mt Vernon Square. The business was busted last year for dealing in stolen goods.
The listing states zoning will allow for up to 6 stories for construction. How can they add 6 stories it the structure w the Sonata condos on the right w windows that would be blocked? Or am I just missing something?
Address: 309 Northwest H Street
Price: $1,500,000″
Back in Feb. we saw the first photos of demo starting at the Third Church of Christ building at 16th and I St, NW. Thanks to katecon for sending these updated ones from this morning:
And from later in the day:
12th and Jackson Street, NE
The owners of Brookland’s Finest [from owners of the Pug, Solly’s and formerly Sova] coming to the corner of 12th and Jackson Street, NE is getting super close – I’m told they’re finishing up inspections and furniture is getting delivered soon. Nice!
And walking by last weekend I saw what’s coming diagonally across the street:
Jackson Place Flats webiste says:
“34 contemporary two bed, two and a half baths units with direct access from the street through covered entry ways
Each unit has 2 floors: one level for living and dining and one for bedrooms and baths
Upper Level units have access to large private roof terrace
Roof deck finished with low maintenance decking and enough lighting and power points for entertaining
Optional green roof planted with native plants
Over 20 parking spaces available with secured entry”
You can see the floor plans for the future condos here. Though summer 2014 seems a bit ambitious…

Following yesterday’s groundbreaking check out some more awesome renderings via The Wharf:
“The Wharf is a 24-acre world-class, mixed-use community along one mile of prime waterfront real estate and includes more than 50 acres of water in Southwest Washington, D.C. The 3.2 million square feet of buildable area will be transformed into one of the most exciting, master-planned, urban waterfront environments in the world.”
Just noticed this after the (re)activate event Saturday night.
It’s located at 1932 9th Street, NW:
Right between Maraki and Axum just south of U Street/Florida Ave:

From the Mayor’s office:
“Mayor Vincent C. Gray and Councilmember Kenyan R. McDuffie (D-Ward 5) announced a plan for the District’s Department of General Services (DGS) to swap unused parcels of land in exchange for the Brookland Green site owned by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).
WMATA plans to redevelop the land adjacent to the Brookland Metro Station. Those plans originally included redeveloping the Brookland Green, a parcel of land that contains mature trees. Although the development immediately adjacent to the Brookland Metro station is generally favored, many residents and Councilmember McDuffie opposed the plan to redevelop the Brookland Green site.
“I’m delighted that we’ve been able to craft an agreement that will allow development to continue but will also save this important green space,” noted Mayor Gray. “While improving and diversifying the District’s economy has been one of my top goals, we’ve worked hard to preserve and grow green space as part of our Sustainable DC plan.”
“I welcome additional commercial amenities in the Brookland neighborhood; however, it is important that projects achieve an appropriate balance between development, and the preservation of a neighborhood’s character and historic features,” stated Councilmember McDuffie.
Under the proposed agreement, the District would assume control of the Brookland Green site, leaving the remainder of the land to be developed by WMATA.”

“Dear PoPville,
I live in the Dorchester House and I’ve been trying to find out more information about the apartments they are building in our former parking lot. The last article I can find about it is from 2013 – and none of the sites I find even list the developer.”
From the developer’s website Clark Builder’s Group:
“Dorchester House is a 117-unit addition to an existing nine-story concrete building. Built above a two-story below grade parking garage, the studio, one- and two-bedroom luxury apartment community is conveniently located within blocks of the National Zoo and the heart of Adams Morgan. Community amenities include a rooftop terrace and clubroom, fitness center, and ground-floor courtyard area with gazebo.
Completion: January 2015”
I walked by over the weekend and the addition is around the corner from the main Dorchester House on 17th Street near the Harris Teeter.

Thanks to a reader for sending:
“I live in the Beauregard at 11th & V NW and I have been taking photos of the Lima Condo across the street since they started construction on the site.
It’s been a photo a day, when I wasn’t out of town or I just forgot to take one. It has been fascinating to watch the progress and the construction.
I have assembled the photos into a 1 min 54 sec movie that I would like to share with our neighbors through the PoPville.”
