At this point I hate to even utter the phrase "parking garages," but I would be remiss if I didn't pass along the news that this week building permit applications were filed for
25 N Street and
75 N Street (and another one for
both addresses together), which would be the address of the two lots on the north end of the
stadium site where the garages are to be built. The applications really don't tell you anything, but it's certainly a sign that the garages are moving forward. In other building permit news, Monument Realty has gotten its
shoring/sheeting/excavation permit approved for their big
Half Street/Ballpark District project, and they tell me they expect to have the site cleared by early March. (Alas, you can't yet see this approved permit in my
DC Gov't Building Permit feeds module, because that feed has apparently been taking some snow days this week.)
