New renderings have been passed along today of the apartment building in the early stages of construction on the northwest corner of New Jersey and I Streets, currently known in the parlance as

(Of course, that lush green field just across New Jersey is architectural license, since we know that space is not now, nor has it
likely ever been, a grassy expanse. Instead, this building will be facing the
Park Chelsea and
800 New Jersey apartment buildings, as well as the Whole Foods scheduled to go in on the ground floor of the latter.)
It's now confirmed that the building will have about 5,500 square feet of ground-floor retail (making
a certain someone so very excited!), and the new drawings give a clearer view of the ground-floor spaces.
