The 275 Units (Possibly) On the Boards For Georgetown

• May 21st 2020

by Nena Perry-Brown

Georgetown's infrastructural rehauls (and the expected return of the Glover Park Whole Foods) have been the big news in the neighborhood lately. There has also been increased attention given to transit accessibility, between the streetcar extension getting cancelled earlier this year, WMATA floating the idea of a Georgetown Metrorail stop, and the concept for a gondola to Rosslyn fading into the background.

With delivery of the 226-unit Glover House late last year, more than half the units in the Georgetown/Glover Park pipeline are completed. However, there is still a good deal of new construction in the pipeline in the neighborhood. UrbanTurf catches up on the status of these projects below.

In case you missed them, here are the other neighborhoods we have compiled development updates for so far this year:

• 350 Units, Three Office Properties and the Water Buildings: The Wharf, Part II
• The 5,400 Units on the Boards for Downtown Bethesda
• The 2,000 Units on the Boards For AU Park and Tenleytown
• The Stops, Starts, and Stutters in the Navy Yard Residential Pipeline
• The 1,750 Units Delivering East of South Capitol This Year
• A Woonerf, a Whole Foods, and 870 Units: The Residences Delivering In and Around Shaw This Year
• The 230 Units on the Boards in Adams Morgan
• From Martha’s Table to Barrel House: The 330 Units Slated for 14th Street
• The 440 Units Delivering Along H Street in 2020

Georgetown West Heating Plant

Latham Hotel Redevelopment

Construction has stalled at the site of the old Latham Hotel at 3000 M Street NW (map) as the development team tries to reformat in light of difficulty finding retail tenants. Rather than a 10-story, 88-room hotel above three stories of retail, Thor Equities is seeking Historic Preservation approval for an 8-story, 256-room hotel above a single story of retail. Shalom Baranes is the architect.

2900 M Street NW

An Old Georgetown Board application was filed in October to renovate the existing buildings at 2900-2924 M Street NW (map) and infill a new 4-5 story building behind it, delivering roughly 38 residential units on the upper floors. The M Street frontage will retain retail and services on the ground floor, and office space on the second floor and two cellar levels.

The building would also have garage parking accessible by car elevator, accommodating 32 vehicles by stacking three in most of the spaces. Hickok Cole Architects is the designer.

A zoning hearing is scheduled in June for the condo project proposed at 3401 Water Street NW (map). IDI Group is proposing to retrofit the two-story building that hosts the Berliner Beer Hall and add five stories to deliver 54 condos above the beer hall and other retail and restaurants. Between two garages, the project will also provide 52 parking spaces and 18 long-term bicycle spaces. BBGM Architects is the designer.
