Another Building Down
Demolition began over the weekend on Building 136 at the Southeast Federal Center. The low-rise beige building on Tingey Street, east of First Street, was home at one time to a Government Printing Office operation. It is within the footprint of the Yards, and eventually an office building will be developed on this spot, but that's most likely a number of years away. In the meantime, a surface parking lot will be built there. (There's already a parking lot next to it, across from the ballpark on First Street.) When demolition is complete, it will be the 30th building torn down in Near Southeast in 2007.
Condo Project Going Up
On Sept. 11, ANC 6B gave its support to a planned 12-unit five-story condominium project to be built on the vacant lot at 1006 Seventh St. SE (between K and L streets, across from the Marine Bachelor Enlisted Quarters). All the units will have two bedrooms and two baths, and six parking spaces will be on the site. The ground floor has about 650 square feet of commercial space, although it has not been decided whether it will be retail or office space.
There's still a lot of bureaucracy for this project to wade through, including its Historic Preservation Review Board hearing Sept. 27, as well as the vaunted D.C. building permit process.
