The 725 Units on Tap For the H Street Corridor

by Nena Perry-Brown

In the year since we last accounted for the developments on tap for the H Street Corridor, the residential pipeline has changed, with perhaps the most notable development being the delivery of The Apollo, a new 430-unit apartment development along the Corridor.

Today, UrbanTurf is taking another look at the development pipeline along H Street NE, from west to east.

In 2014, UrbanTurf reported on this six-story, 42-unit condominium building slated for 911 2nd Street NE (map), just north of H Street NE. The development from Fortis Development and Northridge Capital is named after American engineer and manufacturing pioneer George Pullman, and construction is currently underway. Fortis anticipates that units will be available for move-in in the coming months.

The H Street Connection, a two-block strip mall roughly halfway down the H Street Corridor, was razed last summer after the remaining leases in the shopping center expired.

Avec will be an 8-story building with 419 apartment units atop 44,300 square feet of retail and 430 underground parking spaces. The project is expected to deliver in late 2018.
