Coming Soon -- (Lots of) Development

To date, most of the revitalization of H Street has been limited to small businesses, bars, restaurants, art galleries, and home renovations up and down the cooridor. Over the course of the next 2-3 years, there is a remarkable amount of more significant development coming.



H Street Connection Redevelopment (800-900 blks of H St - South side)
52,000 square feet of retail, 100 commercial parking spaces for use by patrons of H St businesses and another 60 for the several new retail outlets that will be on the first level of the building, which will have 384 residential units on remaining floors. H Street facade will look like a series of row houses and 8th, H, and 10th Street will start out at four stories high with a step back and roof deck patio with the building reaching a meximum of eight stories at its core. Just working its way through the final negotiated details before going before ANC6A for approval.



Washington Real Estate Partners Project (600 blk of H St - South side)
Mixed-use project that includes 234 residential units, 500 parking spaces and ground-floor retail.



Steuart Develop. Apts & Grocery Store (300 blk of H St - North side)
Recently-modified plans for a planned-unit development, the building will have 212 apartments, and 270 parking spots. The building height will reach 75 feet. This project will feature a grocery store as its residential anchor.



Capitol Place (200 blk of H St - South side)
Dreyfus Development's mixed use project with over 400,000 sq ft of retail, 300 condos, 380 parking spaces. The building will be several stories high at 2nd & H Sts, but will gradually scale back to row house heights of 45-55 ft as it reaches 3rd St to the east and G St to the south.



Union Place - Loree Grand (200 blk of K St - North side)
Will house 30 artists in residence at 3rd & K Sts NE and will include over 200 residential units, a roof garden, a courtyard, a gym and ground floor retail with occupancy in March or April.

Also, just off H Street:


Capitol Hill Condos: The Station (old police station) (525 9th Street)

Capitol Hill Condos: Engine House (old firehouse) (1341 Maryland Ave)

  1. It is going to be A-MA-ZING when H Street Connection is replaced. I cannot wait to see that happen.

  2. Thanks for putting this list together--it's very interesting to see all the projects in one place. With all that's happened in the condo market, I wonder how many of these large buildings won't make it out of the planning stage?

  3. I've got a sledgehammer around here somewhere... when can we start demo on the H Street Connection property!?! Just let me know - I'm right around the corner and happy to help!

  4. It would be nice to know when H Street Connection Redevelopment will begin construction. Same for the Steurt Development. I've been hearing about the grocery store going in with the Steurt Development since I moved to the area in '07. Yet still no grocer has committed.

    I have no doubt H St. Connection will start construction at some point. But I can't say the same thing for Steurt Development. I would leave them off the list until there is a firm commitment from a grocery chain (otherwise the Steurt Development is just a pipe dream).

  6. I had no idea so much stuff was coming here. It will be great to see some of these things break ground. Sounds like the H Street connection project is really going to make a huge difference.

  7. Any chance a map could be put together like on JD Land? I think that would help people out.
