Developments in Shaw [Updated 2/5/07]
The following is a list of planned, under construction and recently completed developments in Shaw. This is not a comprehensive list, though I hope one day it will be. I will add to and revise as I receive more information:
1. The Whitman located at 910 M Street, Northwest. 11 story condo building located a block from the Mt. Vernon Square/Convention Center Metro developed by Faison. Unique and beautiful architecture, high end finishes and steps from the metro.
Status: Still partially under construction but many residents have moved in. Some units still available; call 202-682-5955 for information.
Last Updated: 1/4/07
2. The O Street Market Development/Redevelopment bounded by 9th St., P St., 7th St., and O St. . When completed, the O Street Market development/redevelopment will add an undetermined amount of residential units--including market rate condominiums, town homes, and a senior living facility and including some below market housing for seniors--a renovated O Street Market housing a 65,000-square-foot Giant Food Store, office space and some smaller retail space, underground parking for about 800 cars and ample loading docks for the grocery store. The development will also open up 8th Street to vehicular traffic again between O and P Streets. The developer is Washington-based Roadside Development LLC.
Status: The Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2C approved the project on December 6, 2006. Permits are expected to be drawn for construction to begin in late 2007. Construction is expected to last at least 18 months.
Last Updated: 1/4/07
3. Broadcast Center One project at 7th and S Streets. This project is expected to do for Shaw what Discovery Networks did for downtown Silver Spring by bringing Radio One back to D.C. Ultimately this $120+ million project will bring 76,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, 202 residential units (including 25% affordable and workforce housing), 21,000 sq. ft. of local retail space (including 10% below-market retail space), and a 250 space below-grade parking garage to the Shaw/Howard University metro stop.
Status: The ground-breaking is expected for March 2007 and the projected completion date is September 2009.

4. The Exchange located at 1301-1309 9th Street. The Exchange is a mixed-use (retail/residential) development by Douglas Development Corporation. The project will incorporate the facades of some of Shaw’s oldest buildings. This project will feature 25 residential units and 6,815 sq. ft. of retail space. The location of this project—-across from the convention center and at a major intersection in the Shaw neighborhood-—makes it a key development project in Shaw.

6. The Marion at 1512 Marion Street. As reported by Metro Urban Diary, this 15-unit condo is being developed by Georgetown-based MCN Corporation. The condo conversion will redevelop the shell of what is now a 3-story ‘50’s apartment building. Prices will range from the mid to upper $100k’s for studios, and mid to upper $200k’s for a 1-bedroom condo, with two 1-bedroom units offering “private” gardens and parking available on site. The Marion is said to have an “architecturally contemporary” – but largely unmodified – exterior, with interior spaces offering granite counter tops, GE Ranges, dishwashers, microwave/ranges with hoods, double glazed energy-efficient windows, and maple, oak or cherry bathroom vanities with cultured marble counters and sinks.
Status: Sales by Domus Realty are now underway (contact them at 202.332.2000). Delivery is expected within a few months.

There is speculation that the building might be built as apartments instead of as condominiums.
