Lately we have been getting requests for an open thread for people to discuss whatever is on their minds, so we figured we would give it a try and see how it goes. Like these buildings along the 2000th block of 9th street NW, this post is empty but ready to fill, so DC what’s on your mind when it comes to construction, development, and architecture?

Year over year the District recorded the biggest jump in housing prices in the entire country! That’s right, the latest report from the Federal Housing Finance Agency showed average prices in the Washington area were up over 10%. This is good news considering on average prices are still falling across the country.
The announced closure of the downtown DC location of the West Elm in the beautiful old Woodward & Lorthrop building has rightly been getting a lot of attention this week across the area. The news was surprising considering all the financial incentives the District provided to lure the store to the location on G Street…
We were worried about having another huge block long empty store front, but are happy to have gotten official confirmation that there is already a new tenant lined up for the space. Joining the fray of low cost high fashion retailers in that area will be a massive Forever 21 store. What do you think, improvement or regression?

Looks like the District felt left out of all the legal wrangling over the new Convention Center Hotel. Last month Marriott counter sued JBG in response to a suit JBG filed last year, and now DC is suing JBG too, claiming the developer is illegally obstructing construction of the convention center hotel.
Still following along? Clearly this is going to be the last chapter in this saga to build the 1,167-room Marriott Marquis on Ninth Street NW right next to the new Convention Center. After all… there really isn’t anyone left to sue!
We understand that this row home in Kalorama doesn’t exactly have the best curb appeal (it’s the white house in middle), but the price chop on this restored 1912 townhome seems a bit extreme to us! The listing has been reduced by $350,000, which is an over 15% reduction.
Come on guys this is right in the heart of all the embassies and steps from all the restaurants an shops on Connecticut Ave with over 4,000 sq-ft for what is now well under $2 Million.

Best New Listings: Logan Circle and AU Park
This week’s Best New Listings include a high-end one-bedroom on the southern edge of Logan Circle and a three-bedroom bungalow in American University Park.
Seems like there was a bit of a communication breakdown between Commonwealth neighbors Alexandria and Fairfax over a planned development. The Examiner is reporting that the Alexandria Mayor only found out last week about the plans for Landmark Plaza which could have a significant traffic impact on Alexandria.
Typically local governments try to work closely together when big projects are in the planning stages and could have an impact on surrounding jurisdictions. In this case someone dropped the ball obviously, but our question is whose responsibility is it really? [Photo: Mr T in DC]
