Today, UrbanTurf continues our tour of neighborhood developments around the region as we take a look at the residential pipeline in and around Shaw.

Projects in the Howard University pipeline aside, hundreds of units are on the boards and in the works in the neighborhood along 9th Street NW.

Below, UrbanTurf revisits the larger developments coming to the Shaw area, from Cardozo to Mount Vernon Square Metro. If we missed a large development, shoot us an email at editor(at)urbanturf.com.

In case you missed them, here are the other neighborhoods we have covered thus far this year:

1322 9th Street NW

Kadida Development Group and Architextual appear to still have plans in the works for a five-story apartment building on the lot located at 1322 9th Street NW (map). The units will range in size from approximately 420 square feet to 1,100 square feet. 


Manna Mixed-Use

Earlier this year, New Community Church and nonprofit developer Manna received financing for S Street Village, a new 90-unit development along the 600 block of S Street NW (map) across from the Wonder Bread factory. 

The units will be affordable to households earning up to 30% and 60% of AMI, and the development will also incorporate the façades of the rowhouses at 618 and 620 S Street and provide 25 below-grade parking spaces.

1515 9th Street NW

A 45-unit residential development from Monarch Urban is in the works for 1515 9th Street NW (map). The site currently consists of a two-story commercial building and a surface parking lot. 

The new development, designed by KASA Architecture, will consist of a mix of one- and two-bedroom residences. The project will be subject to Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) Plus and will be required to set aside 18% of the condos for IZ units.


7th and P Streets

Trammell Crow subsidiary High Street Residential's plans for a prominent corner in Shaw will be delayed. 

The development team filed a two-year extension in 2024 for a planned-unit development (PUD) that is expected to deliver a 90 foot-tall building with 230 residential units above roughly 7,440 square feet of retail at 7th and P Streets NW (map)

In addition to an affordable housing component, the building will include a rooftop pool deck, a public art element on P Street, and 56 vehicular parking and 65 long-term bicycle spaces. Eric Colbert & Associates is the architect. 


New Bethany Infill Development

A 45-unit residential development is planned for New Bethany Baptist Church's parking lot at 1301 11th Street NW (map). The four-story project will also have habitable cellar and penthouse levels and will also include nine surface parking spaces. Gragg Cardona Partners and EHT Traceries are the developers and Eric Colbert & Associates is the architect.


Washington Apartments Redevelopment

About a month ago, MidCity extinguished the approved planned unit development (PUD) it had to replace the 63-unit Washington Apartments Complex in the 1200 block of 5th Street NW (map) with a 363-unit development. However, the developer still plans to move forward with a by-right development at the site; those plans have yet to be unveiled.
