150 S Street NW
The former Medhane Alem Eritrean Church at 150 S Street NW recently sold for just shy of $3 million and there could be residential plans in its future.
UrbanTurf has learned that a developer has early ideas for the site that include 8 townhouse condos which may or may not somehow incorporate the church into the design. The project will not require zoning variances or relief from the Historic Preservation Review Board. The townhomes will likely be three-bedrooms, three-bath units with parking spaces and roof terraces.
The Medhane Alem Eritrean Church relocated to Brentwood, Maryland where a new church building is being constructed. UrbanTurf will provide updates as we received more information on the plans for the former church property.
