RSS FeedOld Convention Center Site Update From Hines (March ’08 Start & Public Meeting)
In mid-March, we emailed Hines (developer of the old convention site) asking about the mysterious trailers that appeared at the old convention center site in hopes that redevelopment was about to begin.
We received a response from Hines stating that construction will begin in the Fall of 2008. So much for Fenty’s 100 days plan! Also, there is a public meeting on April 19th.
- Construction of the redevelopment project is scheduled to begin in Fall 2008, with completion anticipated for Fall 2011. FYI — Hines/Archstone-Smith will be hosting a public meeting on Thursday, April 19 to review the current status of the project. The meeting will be held at the National Music Center (formerly the City Museum) from 6-8:00 pm.

at first glance, I like that there are lots of tree lined streets in the plan. there’s a lot of retail planned and I’d hope they think about how to get it mostly leased prior to build out. especially given that we’ve got plenty of retail to go around. maybe the DC government can incentivize the effort, if needed.
