This one from Capitol Hill looks seamless. My untrained eye kept looking at the side to see if the bricks changed at all but I couldn’t notice any difference. What do you think – pop up or original?

This pop up is located at 905 2nd St, NE:

The listing says:
“Just completed, never occupied turn-key investment. Each of the 3 2bed/2bath units are desirable. Unit 3 has private roof deck with great views of the capitol. Check rents at senate square and you will find the numbers work great. Watch the trains arrive as rent rolls in. A sophisticated play for owner occupant as well.”
You can see some photos here.
What do you think of the pop up? It’s yours for $1,600,000.


Dear PoP,
I pass this on the way home from work. It’s a Pop-up right? Have you ever judged this on the site?

We’ve admired the mustache many times but I don’t think we’ve ever judged this split house at the corner of 13th and Florida Ave, NW. First, does anyone know if this is a pop up or original to the house? If it’s a pop up, do you dig it?


I assume they’ll match the color and when/if they do, I gotta say not so bad. You can see what it looked like in Nov. 2011 here.


A lot of progress since we last checked in at 9th and I St, NE. While it’s not my favorite, it’s not the worst one I’ve ever seen. What are your final thoughts?



Dear PoPville,
Saw this going up at 2317 Ontario Rd NW…I know they don’t have any restrictions in my section of Adams Morgan but it seems weird.
Ontario Road is becoming a popular pop up destination. We’ve previously looked at one at 2714 Ontario Rd, NW.


Oh boy…


Most of the time I post pop ups the reactions are universally negative. And in many cases that is certainly understandable. So I’m always happy to share ones that I think do a good job. This one from Capitol Hill is still getting worked on but I think they did a great job. You like the way it’s turning out?



It’s been a while since we checked in on 2714 Ontario Road, NW. We’ve been following the progress of this construction here, here and here.



A reader requested we take a look at the house being converted to condos at 13th and Euclid St, NW. What do you think of the mini pop up? You can see what it used to look like prior to the expansion here.
