Today I saw for the first time new signs hung on the fence surrounding the firewood lot on the
southwest corner of 1st and I Streets, emblazoned with "
DRI Development/Office and Retail" (or some such). I have absolutely no information on this--this lot has been owned for quite some time by the Potomac Development Corporation, but I don't see any records as of yet in the online public records to indicate a sale has taken place, so perhaps it's a joint venture. Or not. I don't know. Anyway, I'll try to see what I can find out (
whispers in my ear always welcome!), and hopefully some light can be shed on perhaps ANOTHER project getting started in the
North of M section of Near Southeast, to go along with
JPI's two residential towers, ADC Builders'
Square 699N, Faison's
Onyx on First condos, and Opus East's
100 M office building (and
maybe the
Nation site, too?), and perhaps something on the Sunoco lot by Monument Realty.
