Earlier this year, UrbanTurf reported on the plans to replace the 7-Eleven at Takoma Metro station with a mixed-use condo development. Now, the project is rendered in full color.

Neighborhood Development Company is seeking Historic Preservation Review of concept plans for a 37-unit condominium project atop 11,960 square feet of commercial space at 218 Cedar Street NW (map).

The 55 foot-tall building is designed by Square 134 Architects and would include 14 bicycle and 12 vehicular spaces of garage parking. The units would be mostly one-bedrooms with some two bedrooms, and 10 percent of the residential square footage would be inclusionary zoning units.

The design has changed somewhat from what was previously presented, with a less prominent and glazed commercial façade and more subtly articulated balconies.

The development team anticipates acquiring permits by the end of the year to break ground next February, putting delivery in 2021-2022.
