NoMa Top Design List:

The vision of tomorrow's NoMa:



1111 North Capitol:


Details:
Office: 500,000 SF
Retail: 20,000 SF
Cultural: 5,000 SF
I love this building. The reuse of the historic warehouse meets a modern glass structure. The movement of the glass structures is beautiful.

Constitution Square (1st St. NE between M & N):


Details:
Office: 1,300,000 SF
Residential: 1000 Units
Hotel: 200 rooms
Retail: 100,000 SF

One block. 1500 residents. Grocery store. A whole lot of retail and office. What more can I say? (The estimate of 1500 residents is based on the equation that 50% of the units will have one occupant and 50% will have two)


111 K Street:


Details:
Office: 90,000 SF
Retail: 1,500 SF

This triangular building is on a supersmall lot next to the metro tracks. An based on certain documents, this development may one day have a direct connection to the MBT/ Burnham Spine/ Union Station air rights development.


1100 & 1150 First Street:


Details:
Office: 670,000 SF
Retail: 30,000 SF

Clean and simple. I like the subtle nature of the slanted twin buildings.


Capitol Square:


Details:
Office: 575,000 GSF
Residential: 650 Units
Hotel: 250,000 GSF
Retail: 200,000 GSF

It seems like a slightly slimmer version of the Constitution Square development. Hopefully the McDonald's and smaller building will be razed for a more mixed-use structure.
