It looks like most or all of the biildings South of Eisenhower have not been started yet.

Care to provide a link? From everything I've seen and read, the District's foreclosure rate, while still somewhat disconcerting, is way below that of most other areas in the region—namely Prince William and Loudoun counties in Virginia and Prince George's County in Maryland—not to mention that of most other states.

]]> Comment on Champlain Street Condos by Cory http://dcmetrocentric.com/2008/07/01/champlain-street-condos/#comment-2286 Cory Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:56:54 +0000 http://dcmetrocentric.com/2008/07/01/champlain-street-condos/#comment-2286 I think it looks fresh and in keeping with the other warehouse style condos along champlain street. The light colored timber and use of curtain walls make it seem much less severe than some of the neighboring buildings. It has a very light and airy feel about it that will be brought out even more once the landscaping goes in. Also, I rather like the subterranean patios. You can dress them up with plants and make good use of them as a patio/garden area. From the inside, such a patio provides a lot of light and the sense of a very private oasis in the middle of the city. The only problem I have with them is that trespassers could jump down on to them fairly easily. I think it looks fresh and in keeping with the other warehouse style condos along champlain street.
