The H Street Corridor once epitomized DC's development boom, but construction activity in the area has now largely moved east of the city's Starburst intersection. That said, two large new residential developments were unveiled for the corridor in 2022. 

Today, UrbanTurf takes a look at the residential developments in the works along and adjacent to the current streetcar route from H Street to Benning Road. If we missed a big project along this route, shoot us an email at editor(at)urbanturf.com.

1365-1375 H Street

A five-level residential development is planned for some fairly recognizable buildings along H Street NE. 

Christopher Martin, the owner of 1371 and 1375 H Street NE, presented plans back in May for a new 50-unit residential project at 1365-1375 H Street NE. Approximately 20% of the units would be inclusionary zoning and a large cellar space would be created for bike storage. The project is designed by John Linam Jr.

1000-1016 H Street 

DC-based developer District Growth is proposing a 70-80 unit residential project for a row of low-slung properties at 1000-1016 H Street NE. The project, designed by Akseizer Design Group, would be five stories that will incorporate the existing building façades along H Street into the design. The primary residential entrance will be located at the center of the building along H Street NE, and the cellar floor will house a gym and clubroom/amenity.
