While the buildings at The Wharf are generally all finished, there are still a couple new projects either in the works or in limbo just northwest of the happening stretch. 

Below, UrbanTurf takes a look at the pair of developments. If we missed a big one, just shoot us an email at editor(at)urbaturf.com.

Department of Agriculture Building Redevelopment

Jair Lynch Real Estate Partners has plans for a development that would deliver 511 apartments above 22,600 square feet of retail at the site of the former Department of Agriculture building at 899 Maine Avenue SW (map). The building will be 100-120 feet tall and will include 244 parking spaces and 110 long-term bicycle spaces.

The project received a 20-year city tax abatement from Mayor Bowser's administration in January through DC's Housing in Downtown program.

Amenities will include a rooftop pool and a south-facing courtyard above the double-height retail. Fifteen percent of the residential space will be affordable at 60% of median family income (MFI), and the unit mix will span from studios to three-bedrooms. Perkins Eastman is the architect and Land Design is the landscape architect.

Disabled American Veterans Building Redevelopment

Since our last check-in, the plans for this development have moved to the "up in the air" category. 

Last March, the Washington Business Journal reported that Mill Creek Residential was no longer partnering with the Disabled American Veterans on a 207-unit redevelopment of their headquarters at 807 Maine Avenue SW (map). While zoning documents state that the non-profit is still committed to finding a partner for the new development, the site is currently listed for sale. 

As designed by SK+I Architecture, the triangular project would be 11 stories tall plus a penthouse, and the double-height ground floor will be set back from the lot line to create space along 7th Street for a pocket park, public art, terraced seating, and potential outdoor dining.
