The Admiral Not Coming to SE
13 05 2008
Last year banners went up along Virginia Ave Southeast announcing the Admiral condo building. Work had been slated to begin shortly there after but for months nothing happened.
The location is right on the other side of the highway from Barracks Row and Capital Hill and some units could have conceivably had views of the Capitol dome. It’s a great spot given all the new recent developments in the area.
However sources tell us the land is now back up for sale (after a previous try in January) and the Admiral, with it’s cool Mansard roof design (pictured), will apparently never get past the drawing board. The website associated with the project has also been taken down. Goodbye dear Admiral we hardly knew you! [Rendering: Bonstra Haresign]
i was really looking forward to this one. it had a really great design.
More on this, from when I posted about it back in January:

It was actually taken off the market last January, and now it looks like they are giving it another go at trying to sell it.
