15th Street In Downtown To Get Residents?
If you look at our handy residential map in the right column of this blog, you’ll notice that there aren’t any residential buildings between 10th St and the White House. We noticed in the last few issues of the Downtown BID’s construction report (pdf) that SJG Properties was planning on renovating the Woodward office building at 733 15th St NW into 189 apartments and 100 parking spaces, but that plans had been stalled for quite some time.
Well, in the latest DC construction permit approvals, there is an item valued at ~1.3 million for 733 15th St! Is SJG getting started on delivering 189 new neighbors to our neighborhood?
