Phase II Property, April 2010
April 21, 2010 at 6:59 am 1 comment
Near the Minnesota Avenue Metro, the Dept. of Employment Services (DOES) headquarters — “Phase I” of a two-part development to help create the “New Downtown Ward 7″ — is currently under construction. Adjacent to the DOES building, “Phase II” property was awarded to Donatelli Development by the District executive last year. The DC Council approved the Land Disposition Agreement in the fall.
Community requests for information about final construction plans have so far yielded no response from developer, Chris Donatelli. DC’s office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development promised a community update meeting in late February or early March. No such meeting had been scheduled as of April 15. Below are pictures of the site — showing the unsecured conditions which have been on-going — additional photos on Flickr.
