Looking from the southwest at the 1st and M intersection, in August 2006. (08/06)
|
The same location, under construction. 100 M is the building in the forefront; Onyx on First is at rear. (11/17/08)

Square 743N, seen from overhead, in March 2006; St. Matthew's Baptist Church is at bottom, the parking lot is the 1111 New Jersey site, and the Onyx lot is at the right rear of the block. (03/06)
|
The same location, two years later, with 100 M (left) and Onyx (right) a few months from completion; 1111 New Jersey could start construction at lower left in 2008. At the very top left of the photo you can see the stadium. In November 2007, it was announced that St. Matthew's Baptist Church had signed a contract to sell its land to Ruben Properties. (6/24/08)

Looking west along M Street from between New Jersey Avenue and First Street, in February 2006. The low-rise white building at center is the On Luck Cafeteria, marking the corner of the 100 M site. (05/06)
|
The same location, under construction. The construction of Onyx on First is actually the higher-up construction in this shot; 100 M's work, while being done concurrently, has come out of the ground a bit more slowly. (Note also 20 M now completed down the street.) (5/26/08)

100 M is quite easily seen as one looks up First Street from the Frederick Douglass Bridge. (6/5/08)
The construction of Onyx and 100 M is visible from inside the Nationals ballpark, although the parking garages and other nearby construction have obscured the view. (8/3/08)

A one-block-away view of the 100 M site, this time standing at Cushing and M and looking to the northeast. (02/06)
|
The same location (backed up a bit), under construction. (11/17/08)

|
The On Luck Cafeteria held out at 1st and M for a long time.... (05/04)
|
But the owner accepted a purchase offer of $4.5 million in February 2006, and in September of that year On Luck (and the Zohery Bus Tours garage beside it) was demolished. Now 100 M has taken over the landscape. (8/24/08)

A cropped photo from Sept. 2000 showing the corner of 1st and M; note that past On Luck and the "Auto Wholesale" sign is a rowhome, standing alone. This is on that triangle of property next to the alley that Opus East was unable to buy; the structure was demolished sometime before 2003. (09/00)

Townhouses along 1st Street, in August 2004. (08/04)
