A 2012 rendering showing Twelve12 as seen from Tingey Street, with the three-story Vida Fitness club spa (with additional retail) at front and center. Vida was finally officially announced as a tenant in October 2012, after years of rumors. Sweetgreen was announced as the tenant for the ground-floor corner space in May 2013.

What one used to see near the old brick turret when looking south on 4th from M. (10/20/03)
The old view of the Parcel D lot from 4th Street was not particularly inviting. (Although being able to see all of Building 202 is not a bad thing.) (3/07)
Old Parcel D Designs
The original Parcel D designs, unveiled in 2007, called for 320,000 sq ft of office space above the supermarket, and a separate residential building, 400 Tingey, with 170-190 apartments. Designs by Shalom Baranes Associates.
A view of the previous designs for Parcel D, showing the western side of the development, which would face 4th Street. At far left is the sentry tower at M Street. The grocery store is still planned for the ground-floor area at left, but in 2010 the site plan was redesigned to be a single all-residential building with ground-floor retail. These 2007 designs by Shalom Baranes Associates.
