Since the beginning of the year, UrbanTurf has been taking an updated look at what is in the residential development pipeline for neighborhoods around the region. No neighborhood can keep up with the number of residential units in the pipeline for NoMa, though. Below is a rundown of the residential developments set to deliver in and around the neighborhood in the coming years.

If you missed them, here are the other neighborhoods we have covered this year:

• The Shaw Development Rundown
• The 1,458 New Units Coming to the H Street Corridor
• The 692 New Units Coming to the 14th Street Corridor
• The 1,101 Units Coming to Connecticut Avenue
• The Development Rundown For Georgetown and the West End
• The (Approximately) 1,500 Units Coming to Downtown Bethesda
• The 1,364 Units Coming to the U Street Corridor

Burnham Place

Akridge’s purchase of the air rights above the rail yards leading to Union Station will eventually lead to the creation of three million square feet of development above the H Street Bridge. The project at First Street and G Place NE (map), named after Union Station architect Daniel Burnham, will yield 1.5 million square feet of office, 100,000 square feet of retail, 500 hotel rooms and over 1,300 residential units. The buildings will stand 90-130 feet above the bridge, and Burnham Place’s completion is intended to make the neighborhood more connected and navigable. The development team also includes Shalom Baranes as architect and as Union Station gets modernized and expanded, will require a lot of coordination with the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), Amtrak, the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation and Union Station Investco as it continues through pre-construction.

Ava NoMA

AvalonBay Communities is constructing a Ava NoMA, a 13-story building with 438 residential units, at 55 M Street NE (map).

Residents will also be able to enjoy a dog wash, fitness center, bicycle shop, and a rooftop deck with pool, billiards and indoor/outdoor cinema. Three underground levels of parking will provide 303 spaces. Sixty-five percent of the units will be studios and one bedrooms, 22 percent will be two bedrooms, and the remainder will be three bedrooms.
