Wasting no time after the permits were approved last week, JPI has within the past few days put up a construction crane now towering over the Southeast Freeway at
, where the digging down for the company's 448-unit residential project must be pretty close to done. I imagine there will eventually be another crane for
(the companion 246-unit building) within a few months.
A few blocks to the south at the
Nationals ballpark, the roof canopy has started to be installed--they've even repositioned the
Stadium Construction Cam to give a good view of the work. Before long, the lighting that will sit beneath the canopy will start to be put in place as well.
But be careful while you're wandering around looking upward at these new sites--some monster potholes have erupted as the temperatures have warmed. If you do the circuit around the stadium site, this is your fair warning to drive incredibly slowly until the holes get filled in, because otherwise your car is a-gonna-get swallowed.
Meetings and Whatnot
Feb 21, 2007 2:26 PM
Tomorrow night (Feb. 22), the DC Zoning Commission is having a public hearing on
Case 06-41, a
Capitol Gateway Overlay Review for
1325 South Capitol Street, the planned 244-unit residential building at South Capitol and O streets SW, right across from the
ballpark. The ZC hearing is available via
live webcast. Apparently this project was presented at the Feb. 12
ANC 6D meeting, but since the ANC for four of the last five months has been unable or unwilling to send out its agendas before the meetings or
post them on their web site (check out those dates!), I wasn't able to post a heads up that this project was going to be discussed.
