Plans for a large new residential project at the Brookland Metro station are looking to get started again after more than a decade of fits and starts. 

Developers Horning and The Menkiti Group filed a planned unit development (PUD) with the DC Zoning Commission earlier this month for a 230-unit development at 901 Monroe Street NE (map). The project will feature a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, as well as 54 parking spaces. The development will not have any retail.  

This project may look familiar to longtime UrbanTurf readers. In 2012, the Zoning Commission approved a 212-unit development for the Monroe Street address, a decision that was fiercely opposed by residents living near the proposed project, who took their case to the DC Court of Appeals.

The Zoning Commission's approval was vacated by the court in 2012 and 2013 and then again in 2015. Following the third ruling, the development team decided to wait until the city's Comprehensive Plan was approved in 2021 before resubmitting a PUD for the development. 

The new apartment building, which will likely begin the zoning process next year, will sit across the street from Monroe Street Market.
