A Nine-Story Condo Building Floated For 16th Street Church Property

Some interesting residential plans are on the boards for a prominently sited church on 16th Street.
As part of a due diligence study, Dila Development has filed a preliminary concept with DC's Historic Preservation Board for a new nine-story condominium building just south of the Unification Church at 1610 Columbia Road NW (map). The plans for the new building, designed by Axis Architects, appear to be part of bigger plans for the church property.

"The new condominium is anticipated to be part of a larger site redevelopment project that will include the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the historic church building into residential apartments," Dila said in the filing. "The massing of the new construction is intended to relate to the streetscape of Sixteenth Street and be subservient to the historic church building."
Dila Development did not immediately return UrbanTurf's request for comment on the new project.
Correction -- We incorrectly stated that this church is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In fact, the LDS Church sold it to the Unification Church.
