Yards Projects Completed, Underway, and Planned for the Near Term | ||
Foundry Lofts (the old Parcel M/Pattern-Joiner Shop/Building 160) - The brown-and-white building at 3th and Tingey, it has been renovated as a 170-unit apartment building, with two floors added on top; work began in 2008, but stalled until August 2010 because of funding issues. The first residents moved in in November 2011. | ||
Yards Park - A 5.5 acre park along The Yards's riverfront, its first phase opened in September 2010. A bridge--part of the Anacostia Riverwalk--connecting the park to Diamond Teague Park opened in November 2011. | ||
The Boilermaker Shop (the old Parcel K/Building 167) - The building on the north side of Tingey, between 3rd and 4th and just behind the Department of Transportation HQ, has been redeveloped as a retail building; work got underway in fall 2011, with with tenants moving in throughout 2013. | ||
The Lumber Shed - The historic building is being renovated as a restaurant pavilion, with its location at the north end of the Yards Park area making it easily available to users of the Anacostia Riverwalk. Construction began in summer 2012, with initial tenants opening late in 2013. | ||
Twelve12/Parcel D - An empty lot for many years, this site was redesigned in 2010 to be a residential building with 200-225 units, a ground-floor Harris Teeter, and a three-story fitness center and spa. Construction began in early 2012, and opened in 2014. | ||
Arris/Parcel N - Work began in late 2013 on the Yards's second new-construction apartment building, with 327 units and 20,000 sq ft of retail on the southwest corner of 4th and Tingey. It opened in early 2016. | ||
Parcel O - The southeast corner of 4th and Tingey, formerly the temporary home to a trapeze school, is expected to see construction start in 2016 on a 140-unit condo building and 190-unit apartment building. | ||
Parcel L - The lot south of Tingey and west of 3rd will eventually have a 290-unit residential building and perhaps a boutique hotel. Residential construction could start by 2018. |
Factory 202/Parcel E1/Building 202/Gun Assembly Shop/Gun Mount Shop - The red brick building at 5th and M was once slated to be redeveloped as a 271-unit condo building, but Forest City put it on the market in 2016 to assess potential other development ideas. | ||
Parcels A, F, G - This site at 1st and M was home to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (and other cloak-and-dagger Feds) until 2011, and the building was finally demolished in spring 2014. These parcels will be redeveloped as office buildings, with ground-floor retail, but is in the meantime becoming a public space some wags refer to as "Spooky Park." | ||
Parcels H and I - Land along 1st Street south of Tingey was cleared in early 2008 to allow parking for Nationals Park. Eventually, in later phases, residential buildings will be built here. | ||
Parcels D and E2/3 - The additional parcels on the northeast corner of the site will be turned into residential projects. |
