River Parc, a 287-unit apartment building in Navy Yard, started construction in recent weeks, reported Market Watch.

Located at 1011 1st Street SE (map), a couple blocks from the Navy Yard Metro, the Toll Brothers project (its first in DC) includes a mix of units, ranging from studios to two-bedrooms with dens, and will have a 179-space underground parking garage, a rooftop pool and a pet salon, along with other amenities.

According to the Capitol Riverfront BID, construction is estimated to finish up in early 2015.

The new project will be about a four minute walk from the recently-announced Whole Foods on New Jersey Avenue SE.

   Construction actually started in October on this and they've been adding about one additional floor per week (I wish Toll Brothers started construction a little later on Saturdays!). The buliding is currently at the fourth floor. It will be good to have more residents in the neighborhood but it is disappointing that this doesn't include any ground-floor retail.

   Agreed on all counts, 202. The construction is literally right outside our window, and it is unbearable on Saturdays. Though they didn't work this past Saturday, so that was nice. Seems to be no rhyme or reason to when they do and don't work weekends.

   Another bland lookalike building.
