The proposal to convert The Flour Mill office building in Georgetown into residences is looking for an important approval later this week. 

Related Fund Management and Network Realty Partners will take their plans to convert 1000 Potomac Street NW (map) into a 135-unit residential project before the Old Georgetown Board on Thursday. The development team purchased the office buildings last October with an eye towards a residential conversion. 

The proposal calls for converting the office space into residences in the four buildings that make up the Flour Mill, including two floors of office space in the West Building, which already houses condominiums. Approximately 8,000 square feet of retail would be constructed along Potomac Street and Water Street NW as part of the project.

Some of the planned changes include replacing the facade of the South building, and a redesign of the landscape of the inner plaza of the buildings. Studios Architecture will helm the design of the conversion. 

The original flour mill building was built in 1847 as a cotton mill before being converted into a flour mill; a second building at the site was constructed in 1922. Those two buildings were purchased in 1980 and converted into office space following a renovation.
