A Washington, D.C., developer will start construction this spring on a 42-unit residential property on 2
nd Street near Union Station.
Expected to be ready by summer 2015, the one-bedroom, two-bedroom and duplexes will feature a contemporary warehouse design, says
Fortis Companies President George Chopivsky III. The average size will be 800 square feet.
The building is located between the fast-developing NoMa district and the cultural corridor of H Street.
“It’s a different project than what people have seen in NoMa,” Chopivsky says. He says the building will have a “boutique” and “intimate” feel. The developer hasn’t determined whether the units will be for-rent apartments or condos for sale.
Located at 911 2
nd St. NE, the building is a few blocks from two metro stations: Union Station and New York Ave. It will feature a rooftop lounge, a fitness center and 14 parking spaces on site.
Fortis is also
transforming the former National Alliance of Postal and Federal Employees into 33 residences.
