A new boutique project is on the boards for Columbia Heights. 

Kay Properties has pitched a nine-unit development for 1448 Fairmont Street NW (map). The developer is proposing to demolish portions of the rear wall of the existing three-story building, and construct a new four-story addition at the rear, and an addition on top of the existing building footprint. The existing property has been used as a rooming house since 1948. 

Designed by Dasol Engineer Architects, the new development will be comprised of studio and one-bedroom apartments ranging from 410 to 600 square feet. The development is matter-of-right, however Kay Properties has filed for special exception relief from the zoning requirement of one parking space.
