Permit at 10th & H St NE says new 49-unit building
The block on H St NE between 10th and 11th has been vacant for years. It just got demolished out of nowhere over the weekend. The permit says they’re going to construct a 5-story 49-unit building with retail. Perfect for H St in my opinion.
The developer had tried to get something larger approved a couple years ago, but appeared to give up and was trying to sell the property. The permit is for the same developer so I guess they’re going with a smaller version of the original plan? The rendering from before showed them preserving the historic building facades on the street level, which would be great too. As someone who lives nearby, I was starting to feel like this stretch of H St was just going to be a vacant land speculation area forever. Pretty great news!
