Events/News
Downtown – The first permit we’ve seen for CityCenter gets filed and the address is 800 10th St NW – Unit 208. Is at a Tumi store? Might be! We’ll have to wait to find out! [Washington Business Journal (4th from bottom of list)]
Mount Vernon Triangle – 12 Volt Electronics (300 block of H St NW) gets busted for selling stolen goods. [The Triangle]
National Mall – The National Museum of (insert your noun of choice here) museums might not be open but the Mall flood control levee project is moving forward. It’s hard to believe but Penn Quarter is right next to a 100 year flood zone and a removable levee is all that stands between a swollen Potomac River and a few of the Penn Quarter residential buildings. [WaPo]
Development
Mount Vernon Triangle – Bozzuto pull N.V. Commercial in to share the cost of building 460 New York Avenue, one of the few new condo projects on the drawing board in the area. [Washington Business Journal]
Downtown – The 3rd Church of Christ Scientist, a Brutalist architecture styled building at 16th and I St NW, gets a raze permit. Lots of debate went into whether or not the structure was worth deeming historic and saving. [Washington Business Journal] & [Washington City Paper]
Shaw – A cool mural of Liz Taylor is revealed at 7th and Q St NW. You really have see it in person to get the full effect. [Bad Wolf (Shaw neighborhood blog)]
Restaurants
Downtown/Penn Quarter – Tom Seitsema releases his 2013 fall dining guide. Some of the usual suspects in the neighborhood are on the list along with a few newcomers. The digital version gets the Post’s cool new online layout special treatment. (Our two new favs on the list are Daikaya and Casa Luca for 2013.) [WaPo]
Penn Quarter – Amorini Panini (906 F St NW), the shop making tasty sandwiches on F St NW, developed a franchise model that is now available for purchase. [Amorini Panini franchise info]
Chinatown – Local beers such as DC Brau (and other craft beers) are now available at the Verizon Center. Nice! [WaPo]
Crib of the Week
Our Crib of the Week is in the 400 Mass Ave condo at 400 Massachusetts Ave NW (Unit 1201) featuring 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. It’s 920 square feet in size, has a balcony, and includes 1 garage parking spot. Why do we like it? It’s high in the sky so you get lots of southern light and the building has lots of amenities like a pool, roof deck, and party room. It’s MLS DC8195701, the asking price is $475,000, and the condo fee is $475 per month. [Redfin listing – 400 Massachusetts Ave NW, #1201 – MLS DC8195701]
