I don't really know what they can do about it, because that interchange at M Street makes it impossible to do any sort of road diet. It would be a huge undertaking to do anything.

It also featured one of the nation’s highest concentration of huge nightclubs, totally nude strip clubs, and establishments where random men thoroughly enjoyed each other.

"The final piece of the Market Terminal development near Union Market is coming in to focus.

The development team of Kettler, Carr Properties, Grosvenor USA and Carmel Partners recently filed for a modification to the planned unit development (PUD) for the six-building project to change the use for the final building from office to residential. Interestingly, this was the original proposed use for Building C2 when the PUD was filed a few years ago, but a change to office use was pitched in 2020.

The plans for Building C2, designed by HKS Architects, include 232 residential units, 5,645 square feet for retail use, and approximately 95 on-site parking spaces. The building will have a maximum height of 130 feet, and approximately 11% of the residential units will be set aside as Inclusionary Zoning..."

Ouch! Amazon announced it is delaying its PenPlace development, which is part the second phase of its HQ2 in Pentagon City. My JBGS stock is garbage today.

Hey maybe Long Island City can have another go at it. Amazon in Virginia has always been a peculiar decision IMO.

Phase 1 of Amazon HQ2 is Already built. Over 8,000 new Amazon employees are coming to Crystal City in June.

I agree. It is a troubled site. My wife and I were eating dinner at an Indian restaurant across the street several years ago and there was a shooting outside of this property.

I was briefly in DC this week and snapped a photo of the development at the southwest corner of 15th St NW & S St NW (and included a before image from Google Street View below). Getting closer to completion and I think it's rather nice infill.

Thank you for posting those photos. I also posted photos of that development a couple of pages back. When I visited DC the last couple of times, I stayed at the Sonder on 16th Street, close to that development.
