RSS FeedAbdo Updates On East End Development
GP Living was on the chat scene when the WaPo interviewed Jim Abdo yesterday in conjunction with his newly formerly announced development on New York Avenue at Bladensburg Road. We participated in the online discussion and asked about Abdo’s plans for the East End. The exchange went as follows:
Penn Quarter…from the blog Gallery Place Living: When do you anticipate making a further announcement about development of the 3rd Street lot in the East End? What will become of the Harrison, the abandoned apartment building, next door? Thx, GP Living
Jim Abdo: We hope to break gound in Penn quarter late next year on several projects in the 3rd and Mass. area. One will likely be an office buiding that will incorporate the historic Landmark Canterbury building, the vacant lot will be housing. There are wonderful view at those sites of the Capitol and National Building Museum.

Not sure if it counts as a newly announced development — Washington Post first reported on the Northeast project in November of last year.

Yup, I second anonymous. I should be leaving at the end of the month. Living with the construction near the courtyard will be brutal.
Well, I live in 400 Mass Ave and can honestly say that the construction directly across the street has really not been that bad at all. In fact, I have only been disturbed by noise once, and it did not last very long.
Have you seen this spot where this is going? 300 Mass (Mass Court) is basically L Shaped with a loft side and apartment side and they are building this right in the L. Anyone living on that side of the building is going to be hating life while this is being built.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Good hopefully I’ll be out of there before they start building behind Mass Court…I don’t need that racket and construction behind me.
