Another long-planned development project is now moving forward--a correspondent tipped me to a newly posted sign announcing that
250 M Street will be arriving in 2008. This is a 212,500-sq-ft office building by the William C. Smith company, to be built right across the street from the DOT HQ (currently there's a parking lot on that site). It will take up all of the M Street frontage on that block, but won't cover the entire block--there will be an apartment building associated with Capper/Carrollsburg on the rear of the lot, facing L. See the
Jones Lang LaSalle database for more information, and check out my
tossed-together new page for the project.
