Rendering of the Day:


This is 300 New Jersey Ave. It is being designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. I really like the modern structure and the cool atrium. Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners is also designing 1201 K St (as seen at DCMud).

Rendering of the Day:

Today's rendering is of a new 30-story skyscraper, set to be completed in Rosslyn in about two years. This building has a very different feel that most buildings in Rosslyn. It's clean, modern, and green! Located at 1812 N. Moore St., it will be one of three recently approved skyscrapers in Rosslyn, including the Central Place project, which will include an office and condominium building. With these three towers, along with the Waterview and Turnberry Tower, Rosslyn is finally getting a classy skyline.

Rendering of the Day:

Today's rendering is of the Metropole. The 7-story building is in the heart of Logan Circle, at 15th & P St. NW. The building's ground floor retail will include a Vida Fitness and Bang Salon.

Onyx on First:

A newish rendering of Onyx on First (a 14-story, 266 unit residential building two blocks from Nationals Stadium) in the Ballpark District that I found while flipping through DC Real Estate. All the info you can possibly imagine about Near Southeast DC is at Ballpark and Beyond.

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.

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.
