The development in the works around DC’s Union Market continues at a quick clip, including plans for a New York-style boutique hotel and loft-like, creative office space above and around the market.

Today, UrbanTurf provides a rundown of the approximately 1,160 residential units that are in the works for the area around Union Market. We’re defining the neighborhood as the area west of 6th Street NE, south and east of New York Avenue NE, and north of Florida Avenue (while including the street itself).

Check out the rundown below.

The Shapiro Residences

The largest residential development on the boards near Union Market is this massive mixed-use project at 1270 4th Street NE (map), which Edens is working on in collaboration with Level 2 Development and architect Shalom Baranes Associates. The Shapiro Residences include two buildings, which together will include 545 to 680 residential units and 40,000 square feet of retail. The larger south building, with 415-510 units, will be built first; before building the smaller north building, Edens will need to get the final go-ahead from the Zoning Commission.
