DC Metrocentric

Downtown - “Check out the hot red front door for the National Council of La Raza.” The largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization sure has interesting tastes. [WeLoveDC]

Near Southeast - “The Zoning Commission on Thursday night approved the design for the first phase of the waterfront park at The Yards.” The developer plans to move fast, promising the first phase by next summer! [JDLand]

Capitol Hill - “Argos Group has been selected to redevelop a pair of Capitol Hill properties including Old Engine House 10.” It’s just going to be another condo project, but some lucky owners are going to live in a firehouse! [DCBiz]
