In 2016, UrbanTurf has been taking an updated look at the residential developments on tap in area neighborhoods. While the Southwest Waterfront has one of the largest redevelopment projects on the boards in the city, just east of South Capitol Street is a wave of development so large that to appropriately digest it, we needed to split it into two articles.

Below, is the second part of what is in the pipeline for the Near Southeast area, south of M Street, which amounts to approximately 4,000 new residential units. For part I, click here.

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

• 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
