As 2018 gets underway, UrbanTurf is resuming our updated look at the large-scale residential developments on tap for neighborhoods throughout the area. Late last year, we took a look at the expanding pipeline of development east of the Anacostia River and the still-impressive slate of projects headed to the Southwest Waterfront. Now, we turn our attention to the immediate area straddling South Capitol Street.

This rundown includes residential developments within one block or so of South Capitol Street. In an article next week, we will look at the residential developments on tap for deeper in Navy Yard.

The interiors of the units will include Mecho shades and barn doors. Amenities at the building will include a full-size basketball court, tennis court, indoor amphitheater, business center, game room and gym with spin room. Residents will also have access to the other amenities in Park Chelsea and The Agora, where a Whole Foods will open later this year.

1000 South Capitol St SE

Last fall, the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) approved an extension of a planned-unit development on the boards for a parking lot at 1000 South Capitol St SE (map). The approval also included modifications that will create 14,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and service space, additional balconies, and the likelihood of fewer apartments. Instead of 300-360 units, the building is now planned to house as few as 200 units in a 13-story U-shaped building designed by Shalom Baranes. The building, from Lerner Enterprises, also has 225 garage parking spaces.
