I love Capitol Riverfront & am thinking of moving their from my H Street apartment. But I think I might wait until more construction is completed, i don't want to live in a construction zone
Well, this neighborhood is going to be the densest neighborhood in all of D.C. I used to think it would be NOMA/Union Market, however, a lot of the sites that were slated for office are switching to residential in Capital Riverfront. The neighborhood is approaching a total buildout of 15,000 housing units. At full buildout, some tracts could easily eclipse 80k people per square mile.
Well the new $900 million high rise getting into gear for Lakeshore East should signify a lot as far as the red hot apartment development market spreading to condos.
The 88 floor building is supposed to be 400 condos and 250 luxury hotel rooms. That should make a statement.
Another highrise just kicked off since I posted that link last week, for 247 apartments in a 30 story highrise just west of the Kennedy Expressway in West Town.
Another 18 floor highrise not on that list is also under construction as of this week. Coming in at only 35 condo units though, it will be a luxury building with only 2 units on most of its 18 floors plus the penthouse.
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - The development boom in Downtown Los Angeles is hitting a new level: Not only are projects being built, but they are going vertical. In other words, the Central City is literally on an upswing.
This is important because it speaks to increasing density in one of the few communities in Los Angeles that welcomes it. Whereas residents of Hollywood, the Westside and the Valley frequently protest when a new high-rise is proposed, in Downtown it is often embraced as a means to give the area a critical mass.
This is being seen on numerous fronts. The 73-story Wilshire Grand replacement is rising at Seventh and Figueroa streets and the 33-floor Onni Tower at 888 S. Olive St. is nearing completion. The multi-tower Metropolis near L.A. Live is under construction and the development firm Trumark Urban just broke ground on a 22-story condominium complex at 1050 S. Grand Ave. in South Park. That is literally just the start, as drawings have been made and entitlements are being sought for another batch of high-rises, some 40 or even 50 stories.
That’s not the extent of the boom. The rush of low-rise rental complexes continues, and things are also heated on the civic front, with, among other projects, the Federal Courthouse steaming forward and the recent groundbreaking of the replacement of the Sixth Street Viaduct.
In the following pages, Los Angeles Downtown News provides the latest updates on 96 projects. Expect things to continue to look up, figuratively and literally...

Take a look at the map I created in Google for completed, under construction, and planned residential activity in Capitol Riverfront/Navy Yard in DC. I stayed within the bounds of Census Tract 72. Let me know if I missed anything.
