A raze application may signal movement on a massive new mixed-use development next to the Anacostia River. 

The application was filed with DC in October to demolish an industrial building at 1333 M Street SE (map). That address is part of a parcel where Felice Development Group and Fields-Grade Development have plans for a two-phase project that will include 900 residential units with 44,100 square feet of retail.

The first phase is anticipated to deliver two "towers" connected by a bridge: the East tower would have 516 units above 32,217 square feet of retail, and the West tower would have 307 units above 9,907 square feet of retail. The second phase will deliver another 97 units above 1,904 square feet of retail in a third building. Twelve percent of the units will be affordable to households earning up to 50% and 60% of AMI.

The commercial space is expected to include a food hall-style market, and the development will also deliver a pedestrian promenade, amphitheater-style terracing, and a traffic circle at Water and M Streets. GTM Architects is the building architect and Parker Rodriguez is the landscape architect.

A planned unit development for this proposal was originally filed in March 2020, and then the development team filed for a two-year extension of the PUD approval at the end of 2022.
