The Montrose, the condo project planned for a currently vacant historic building known as the Henry and Anne Hurt Home in Georgetown at 3050 R Street NW (map), is breaking ground tomorrow, reported DCMud Monday morning.

Argos Group, in partnership with the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, will build 15 two-story units in the former home for the blind. Lower level condos will span the basement and first floor, and the upper unit floorplans will include the second floor and current attic. Six patios and 30 parking spaces will be also be added to the property. The historic facade will be maintained, though the interior will be entirely gutted.

A ceremony will be held tomorrow to commemorate the groundbreaking, and the condos are scheduled for completion in late 2013. The Agros Group is also responsible for The Station and The Fire House condos on Capitol Hill.

   Spoke with Gilberto Cardenas, President of Argos Group (developer) this morning. They've been under construction for about 3 weeks, since we took this photo http://actvra.in/GC4 The rear (newer) additions are expected to be demolished but Cardenas noted that great care is being taken to preserve the historic structures.

   Congratulations to the Argos Group and Gilberto Cardenas! I own one of the units in the Engine House in Capitol Hill and am one of their biggest fans. Their work is impeccable and of the highest caliber. The neighbors and prospective owners can rest assured that the property is in good hands. Best of luck to them!
