UrbanLand Company president and founder Gerard DiRuggiero sees development of smaller condo projects coming back across DC, and he knows from experience that this is what always happens after a down market.

"As the market comes back, builders doing smaller projects will be on the cutting edge of new condo development in DC," he says. "This is precisely what we are already seeing."

"Hear It First"

DiRuggiero's UrbanLand Company specializes in such projects, offering developers the planning, building, sales and marketing expertise the firm has built up over years of working in the District. He points to a four-unit building on 18th Street in Hill East as an example.

"In the case of this gem on the Hill, it was high hopes from an owner who thought he would become a developer, make a fortune and retire. But lack of expertise, time and money left this particular owner out of luck," recounts DiRuggiero. "That's where UrbanLand Company came in. We paired up with a well-qualified and experienced developer to rehab the building, and we will now provide the sales expertise that is needed to get the units sold in today’s market."

Below are before-and-after shots of the project, located at 223 18th Street SE (map). UrbanLand agent Diana Korkor is selling the building, and can be reached at 440.570.8849 or diana.korkor@yahoo.com for anyone interested in taking a look before it hits the market.

UrbanLand maintains an active Facebook page which it uses to notify its fans of properties like these, as well as events and other new developments, before the company announces them elsewhere. “Our Facebook fans hear it first,” says DiRuggiero.
