10th + G Office/Church Combo:

As reported at DCMud, the project at 10th & G NW is now office/church instead of condos/church. There's also a decent amount of commentary at PQLiving, not that I agree with any of the comments. Here are the latest renderings, as found at the website for Cunningham + Quill Architects. I don't find the architecture to be inspiring, however I do think its decent. I'm looking forward to see how this projects develops.

Development Update | 1099 NY Ave. Gets More Glassy:

Photo from last Friday:


From two weeks prior:



1099 New York Ave. will be an 11-story office building directly across from the Old Convention Center site, with 8,000 sq ft of ground floor retail, for a high-end restaurant, bank, and convenience store.

Chinatown/ Gallery Pl. Coca Cola Video Billoards:

GP Video Billboards Update:

As you can see in this photo, the structural support is installed and electrical wiring is ran:


So the video ads can't be too far away. This has caused quite a bit of arguement at PQ Living, as can be seen in the 38 comments ranging from "this seems insane" to "big deal" to comments about color and vibrance. But with the AT&T flagship taking the retail space at the same time of the video billboard news, I was wondering, could the videoboards just be signage for the store? I haven't seen anything saying that the videoboards will be used specifically for ads. Just a thought... I could be wrong.

New Aveda Signage:

So the Aveda Institute finally has some decent signage. It went up a couple weeks ago, I just never got around to posting it.

Update:

So I've been SO busy moving into my new apartment. I haven't had any time to blog. So I will be posting regularly in the next day or so.

Chop't Signs Up:

The neon signage is up at Chop't. The man on the left is actually putting up the Chinese characters on the windows. They will apparently be opening in another week or so, due to some delays. Sorry for the bad picture (cameraphone!). I'll post a better one soon!
