Modern Mixed-Use Making Major Progress in Point Breeze





Quote:
You may recall, 1701 Federal St. was once home to a convenience store, which made its home in a two-story red-brick building. The store closed its doors years ago and the building sat vacant until its demolition in early 2020. At the time, we noted that the same developers that had demoed the building had plans to demolish the laundromat immediately to the north, and we speculated that they would pursue a zoning variance to build six or seven townhomes on the combined parcel, similar to a project across the street on the 1700 block of Annin. In early 2021, after the laundromat was torn down, we were surprised to learn that the developers were instead planning a four-story 42-unit building at the site. We suggested that there might be a tough zoning fight for such a plan, so we weren’t so shocked to hear about a pivot to a by-right approach, to a 30-unit mixed-use building.
