New renderings have been submitted for historic preservation conceptual review of The Drake II, the proposed seven-story-plus-penthouse building at 1328 16th Street NW (map). First Baptist Church owns the three-story annex and would partner with Keener-Squire Properties on the development; they previously delivered The Drake's 218 units on an adjacent church-owned site.

Roughly six of the units in the proposed development would be set aside as Inclusionary Zoning, and roughly 11,460 square feet of ground-floor and cellar space would be for church programming. The project would deliver 16 below-grade parking spaces for the church. Eric Colbert and Associates is the architect.

Materials would be a mix of light brick, ashlar stone with limestone (or similar), and aluminum panels. Additional renderings are below.
