The 1,076 Units Coming to the H Street Corridor

• October 8th 2014

by Lark Turner

From time to time, UrbanTurf takes a look at the residential developments on tap for neighborhoods across DC. Given the recent news surrounding projects in the works along the H Street Corridor, we decided to focus on that area for this installment. In total, more than 1,076 units are slated for the H Street Corridor, and we cover those developments, from west to east, below. (Two developments below are in Trinidad, but we deemed them close enough to the corridor to include.)
