Today's WashTimes has "
Hotel Industry Gathers Momentum in Near Southeast", keyed to today's "opening" of the
Courtyard by Marriott at New Jersey and L. (They're having a grand opening party tonight, but of course the hotel actually opened to customers in March.) The article mentions three other hotel projects on the boards, at
Florida Rock (That's "FRP Development" in the story), Herb Miller's garage-wrapper plan just north of the
stadium, Half and L (the
Ron Cohen project, which I've heard nothing about for quite some time), and
Maritime Plaza (east of 11th Street). The project it doesn't mention is the
rumored sale at 50 M Street of the Sunoco station to a hotel developer of some sort--still no confirmation of that anywhere.
