The Foundry Lofts building as seen from the Yards Park. The floors on top, which are the two-story penthouse units, were added to the original historic stucture. (Just as a reminder, here's what this building used to look like, before renovation started.)
A close-up view of the building, at the corner of 3rd and Tingey. Potbelly Sandwich Works will be taking the ground floor space on the corner, and work on that restaurant is expected to begin within the next month or so.
Looking out through the lobby entrance, on the building's northeast corner.
Seating area in the lobby.
Front desk and entrance to elevators.
A cannon found buried on the building site. It was apparently buried vertically, and it's believed it was done that way to allow ships to be tied to it.
The community room, looking out to the courtyard.
The community room.
One of the hallways, with the open courtyard at left. Of the 170 units, only six are purely interior ones.
The 1-bedroom model.
Another view of the model, taken from the kitchen.
The bedroom in the model, directly behind and above the kitchen. This shows that it is indeed a true loft, with only low walls separating it from the rest of the unit.
The model's bathroom
A two-bedroom two-bath corner unit, with a view of the Navy Yard to the east.
The very industrial feel of the corner unit, with its views of the Display Ship Barry, the Anacostia River, and Poplar Point.
A bathroom in one of the other units.
The entryway to one of the corner units, with the standard-in-every-unit washer and dryer seen at left.
The great concrete pillars that are in almost every unit.

The southwest corner of the building, where Kruba Thai and Sushi will be.
The interior of the two retail spaces on the southern side of the building. Kruba Thai will be occupying the near half, while the other half is not yet leased.
So close! So very close! The bridge between the Yards Park and Diamond Teague Park is very close to opening.
Another view of the bridge, showing the bulb-outs where people will be able to sit, and Nationals Park at rear.
An on-high view of the new bridge, as seen from a penthouse balcony.
