Hanover Company is adding a large project to the Brookland pipeline.
The developer is working on a planned unit development (PUD) application to enable a sprawling two-phase, three-building mixed-use project southwest of Reed and Franklin Streets NE (map), The Brookland Bridge reported. The development will deliver 700 residential units along with retail and makerspace. An alley from Reed Street will also be widened to 30-50 feet with 10 foot-wide sidewalks, with building courtyards facing the space to create a mews-like experience.

The developer shared the plans at meetings of ANC 5B and the Brookland Neighborhood Civic Association and at another on-site community meeting last month.
