Updated Feb. 2016 | What Was New in 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012

If you haven't been keeping track of the latest neighborhood news since the 2015 season ended, here's the headlines:
What was supposed to be the showplace of the neighborhood languished for a number of years, but that's starting to change:

WEST HALF STREET: JBG is planning two residential buildings and retail, with construction likely starting after the 2016 season. (The Fairgrounds will remain open this season, though.)
HOMEWOOD SUITES: A new 195-room hotel at Half and M is expected to open by 2017.
HALF STREET HOLE: Construction could start in late 2016 on a combo rental/condo/retail space just north of the ballpark, where the huge hole has sat for years.
