Even with over 1,100 new apartments delivering in the last 18 months, the new development pipeline is churning in DC's Buzzard Point. There are still three large projects in the works around Audi Field which will bring nearly 2,000 new residences to the neighborhood. 

Below, UrbanTurf takes a look at the latest happenings in the Buzzard Point residential pipeline. If we missed a project, just shoot us an email editor(at)urbanturf.com.

Concrete Plant Redevelopment

While there has been little movement in the last two years, Steuart Investment Company appears to still have plans for a development with 434 apartments above 17,495 square feet of ground-floor retail at the site of a concrete plant near Half and S Streets SW (map). Forty-three of the units will be Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) for households earning up to 60% of AMI, and the unit mix will span from studios to two-bedrooms with dens. There will also be 264 below-grade parking spaces and 145 long-term bicycle spaces.

The residential lobby will have indoor/outdoor co-working space courtesy of accordion doors, and there may also be a temporary mural or some other decorative element on the side of the building that will face the future second phase. The developer will also create a public plaza along South Capitol Street.

The second phase of the project may include the first full-service grocery store in Buzzard Point. MRP Realty and FRP round out the development team; SK+I Architecture is the designer and Oculus is the landscape architect.

Parcel B

Last year, Hoffman & Associates received the green light to extend the design approval for a new 445-unit development next to the DC United soccer stadium (map) by two years. Like many developments in the works around the region, the project is having difficulty securing financing. 

The 12-story, S-shaped building is slated to have 110 senior one-bedrooms, 345 apartments, a new office headquarters for non-profit Volunteers of America (VOA), and 49,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, restaurant, and entertainment space. Brooklyn Bowl DC has been lined up to take 38,000 square feet of the retail space with a venue that includes 14 lanes for bowling, a 1,200 person concert venue, a craft bar and a menu curated by New York City’s Blue Ribbon Restaurant Group.  

The senior units will be affordable to households earning up to 30% and 50% of AMI, and 29 of the other apartments will be affordable to households earning up to 60% of MFI. There will also be 305 parking spaces and 178 long-term bicycle spaces across two below-grade levels. StudioMB and STUDIOS Architecture are the designers, and MKSK is the landscape architect.

The Stacks

Akridge, National Real Estate Advisors, Blue Coast Capital and Bridge Investment Group are building The Stacks, a massive development on seven acres around 100 V Street SW (map). The full development will deliver over two million square feet of mixed-use space, including over 2,000 residential units, 80,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, up to 250,000 square feet of office, one or two hotels, and a 15,000 square-foot park along V Street.

Last summer, the development team reached completion of the development's first phase, which includes The Byron (384 units), Everly (413 units), and Colette (319 units) — a combined 1,100 rental apartments, 40,000 square feet of retail, and a 22,000-square-foot park. Details and timeline for the development's second phase remain vague at this point, but could include up to 1,000 more residential units. 

Architects include Gensler, Morris Adjmi Architects, Eric Colbert & Associates, Handel Architects, DXA Studio, West 8, and Lee and Associates.
