The Shaw

Only a couple of historic rowhouse façades remain along Ellington Plaza at 608-618 T Street NW, where excavation if currently underway. Monument Realty and Westbrook Partners plan to deliver 69 condos to the site, including penthouses with private terraces. The Shaw will also include 7,420 square feet of service- and arts-based retail on the ground floor and 43 parking spaces across two below-grade levels. Resident amenities will include a penthouse lounge with kitchen and smartphone-enabled video intercom system.

The Adora

Steps away, redevelopment of the former Holzbeierlein Bakery warehouse is still in pre-construction. Last year, the Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) approved not only the design concept, but also granted historic landmark status to the building at 1812-1827 Wiltberger Street NW (map). Old City Development Group and PGN Architects plan to convert the warehouse into a mixed-use development, restoring the original doors and windows — including those that have been bricked over. There will also be a four-story brick edifice on the vacant lot on the north edge of the property. The project will ultimately deliver about 12,000 square feet of retail space on the cellar and ground levels, 28,700 square feet of office space on the second and third levels, and nine residential units across the fourth floor and penthouse.
