Developer JPI built 909 at Capitol Yards project - their 237-unit "boutique-hotel themed" apartment building and third entry under their greater Capitol Yards development. The Preston Partnership and JPI is apparently targeting that hard to pin down 18-35 demographic the project with an advertising campaign that boasts of amenities like a two-story bar and lounge, yoga rooms, a "pub room" with shuffleboard (?!) and Nintendo Wiis, an in-house movie theater, a rooftop swimming pool for hosting "raucous barbeques." Though JPI still has one project in the pipeline - a 419-unit apartment building with 15,000 square feet of retail at 23 Eye Street. The completion of Capitol Yards could be viewed largely as the developer's curtain call the DC area. The Texas-based company had once targeted DC, along with New York City, as hot spots for condo development. However, after completing projects like The Byron and Jenkins Row - the latter of which is still selling four years on - the market's prospects seem now much dimmer than they did just a few years ago. 909 New Jersey Avenue, SE, Washington DC.

Furnished suites and penthouses feature high end stainless steel appliances (including washers and dryers), limestone countertops, hardwood floors, a Sony electronics package and custom made furniture. The building itself can best be described as a mini-city with its cafe, business center, conference space, fitness center, spa services, daily Continental Breakfast, 24-hour front desk service, housekeeping services and on-site parking. The "corporate" part comes in handy when it comes to pricing. Three to twelve month leases include one bedrooms between 800-912 sq. ft. beginning at $4950 and two bedrooms ranging from 1073-1210 sq. ft. and starting at $6450.

This Gothic revival marvel (their words, but we endorse them) is located at the corner of Mass and Wisconsin Avenues. Built in 1929 and renovated in 2001, Alban Towers boasts many features, the most interesting being a "butterfly garden." Not as unique but nice to know are its other features: 24 hour front desk, 24 hour fitness, 24 hour business center, indoor lap pool, "Grand Salon with kitchen, fireplace and multi-media center," and library. Each apartment offers either hardwood or wall to wall carpeting, GE Profile appliances, Corian counters, full size washer/dryer, walk-in closets, private balconies, "retro black and white floor tiles" in bath, high-speed internet, and multiple phone lines. Located a 7 minute walk from Glover Park's active strip, but not close to Metro. Studios: 537 sq ft. One Bedrooms: 486-989 sq ft. Two Bedrooms: 945-1504 sq ft. Three Bedrooms: 1260-1453 sq ft. Parking: $175-275. Managed by Archstone. 888.557.3356. One of the jewels of Washington DC architecture, the ailing apartment building was cleared out of tenants in the late '90's to ready it for refurbishment, a process which took years and which left it sitting largely vacant, with a few remaining tenants unwilling to move. The first renovation was a cheap, sub-standard attempt at modernizing the building, but the developer failed midway through and sold to Archstone, which replaced the new but cheap finishes with its own upgrades, making Alban Towers the crown in their diverse real estate assets. 3700 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington DC.

Allegro announced in Feb. '08 they are going rental. Construction of a new 269-unit condo, the Allegro is a wood-frame building with 9 ft. ceilings, balconies, choice of hardwoods, installed flat-screen TV, washer/dryer in unit, and otherwise standard features, with underground parking. The courtyard has four large reflecting pools. The 'up-tempo' project is expected to complete by fall 2008. Located two blocks north of the Columbia Heights Metro, replacing the dismal old Giant grocery, the building is near the heart of Columbia Heights, now feeling its own new beat as retail finally re-emerges, 4 decades after riots brought an abrupt decrescendo to much of the 'hood. Developed by Metro Properties, real estate sales and marketing by Alexandria-based McWilliams Ballard began in early May, 2006, but were quite slow, and halted in late 2007 after an inadequate reception. Studios were selling from $210k, one-bedrooms from $300k, two-beds from $500k. No rental information available yet.

The Carillon House Apartment building is in the center of young and trendy Glover Park. The massive 50's era apartment building offers up a few amenities for its studio and one-bedroom apartments, like limited garage parking, shared washer/dryer, small fitness center, 24 hour front desk, and small roofdeck, it does offer decent rates, and a good Wisconsin Ave location on the main bus route (but not near Metro), across from a park, and on a solid retail strip with a Whole Foods across the street to boot. And if you're into espionage, the Russian Embassy is next door. The Carillon House lobby was recently remodeled, though the interior finishes remain pretty Spartan, and include the original parquet floors, but are well maintained. Despite the austere white brick facade, which looks like it could be an adjunct of the old Soviet Embassy, the neighborhood is vibrant of full of good retail, and the only large apartment building in Glover Park proper. The Carillon sits on the rise above Glover Park, so the bonus views are on the south side, where going only a few floors up yields dramatic views over the city, a 15 minute walk from Georgetown University. The building was designed by Waverly Taylor and opened in 1951, and was topped by an electronic carillon until recently, which played music every day at noon, and was the first apartment building with central air conditioning in Washington DC. 2500 Wisconsin Ave., NW, Washington DC.

The Macklin was designed in an art-deco style and is a contributing resource to the Cleveland Park Historic District in Washington, D.C., which is listed both in the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Places (1986) and the National Register of Historic Places (1987). During the ten month, $1.6 million dollar renovation, many of The Macklin's historic exterior features were restored, including the original steel casement windows, glass block entry way, and decorative false balconies and concrete panels.

The Community Preservation and Development Corporation (CPDC) and Marshall Heights Community Development Organization (MHCDO) have jointly redeveloped the Mayfair Mansions, a project that was supposed to have entailed condos, and which broke ground in November, 2007, but the condo idea was scrapped and it is now entirely subsidized apartments for rent. The residences received a makeover to provide 410 affordable rentals adjacent to Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. The DC Department of Housing provided $27.5 million in long-term subsidies - about 95% of the rental housing is restricted for applicants at or below 60% AMI. The Federal gov provided a Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit due to their original purpose in the 1940s as an exclusively African-American community designed by Albert Cassell (who designed Howard University). In 1990, Mayfair was put on the historic register. Design and construction for the 23-acre, 570-unit community was by Wiencek Associates and McDonald Williams Banks Architects, contracting by Hamel Commercial. The renovation was completed in mid 2009.

Features include Juliet balconies, Kohler fixtures and limestone tiles in the baths, individual washer/dryers, 10-foot ceilings and overall solid finishes throughout. Located near N.

Senate Square Towers - the Lexington and Concord - two new 12-story towers on H Street next to the old Children's Museum (now developed as Landmark Lofts, a separate condo project) are masonry structures with metal windows and precast concrete and stone trim, and a huge rooftop that features an 80' rooftop pool; the towers also feature a fitness center. An easy walk to Union Station, the Metro, and the Capitol. Senate Square was developed by Broadway Development of New York, one of their first DC projects, but which is also building the DuMont Condominiums; but both sold poorly and sales were halted while banks took control of each. The 432-unit pair of buildings was designed by Esocoff and Associates in one of their most attractive buildings, the two towers share a common amenity space with Landmark Lofts - a historic building in the central courtyard that serves as a business and conference center. The location is on the eastern boundary of NoMa, which has nearly 20m s.f. of office space planned or under construction. Senate Square also sits at the foot of H Street, which is filling in with retail and now boasts an entertainment district. The street is also supposed to have trolley service, but efforts to launch it have not yet born fruit. Because the project was planned, and partially sold, as a condo, it boasts some of the nicer finishes of any rental building in the city. 210 I St., NE, Washington DC.

In keeping with its past success in buying and renovating historic but neglected apartment buildings, Urban Investment Partners (UIP) put the finishing touches on their $1.8 million renovation of the Absecon Apartments - now named the Shelby, in Dupont Circle in mid 2009. Located at 1706 T Street, NW, the Shelby is just one of the century-old rental properties in the area that had been blighted by years of mismanagement and poor upkeep. According UIP's Steve Schwat, the condition of the building took even the seasoned real estate professionals by surprise. "When [buildings] are fully furnished have a nice young couple living in there, they don't look so bad. But everything in the building is at twice its expected useful life," said Schwat. "[At T Street], we had units in the basement that were built but never permitted - It was just crazy in there - holes in the floor, holes in the walls. It was as bad as I've ever seen it." Luckily for prospective renters and the neighborhood in general, the developer - working in tandem with Bonstra Haresign | ARCHITECTS and their in-house general contractor, Urban CM - has succeeded in completely overhauling the once dilapidated building and its 24-units. Said Schwat: "The entire building was renovated, we performed selective demolition, all new electric, all new plumbing, all new separately controlled HVAC, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. It's pretty much condo-grade finishes, but it's a rental building." Additionally, UIP has taken it upon itself to reincorporate original elements of the building's facade that vanished from lack of upkeep over the intervening decades. As a contributing site to the Strivers Historic District of Dupont Circle, the development team will be outfitting the Shelby with a steel and glass version of its original awning. Other architectural flourishes, along with a new front entry door, will round out the renovation for what Schwat calls an "Ian Schrager, boutique hotel kind of feel." The Shelby is currently leasing up with occupancy began May 1st. For more information call 202-244-3811.

The Policy is an apartment building dating from 1929 and is a contributing element to the Kalorama Triangle Historic District in Washington, D.C. The Policy is listed both in the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Places (1986) and the National Register of Historic Places (NR, 1987). The apartment building features 62 rental units, from studios to 2br/2ba apartments, three of which are brand new units that have been added during renovation. The Policy feels more like a hotel than an apartment building with its grand lobbies featuring custom mahogany mill work and intricately patterned marble floors. The apartment units were renovated with condo level finishes and include granite countertops and vanities, GE appliances, individual combo washer/dryer units, individual HVAC and electrical systems, new kitchen and bath tile, and restored hardwood floors. The building also includes a controlled access entry system, a bike storage room featuring a bike ramp, and additional storage lockers.

The V was completed in August of 2008, as part of Lowe Development's revitalization of Mt. Vernon Triangle, an effort that resulted in two condo towers and the first downtown supermarket, in addition to the rental apartment building, replacing once-sprawling parking lots. The V offers a modern lobby, new construction, a full amenities package, and front desk, on the northern edge of Mt. Vernon Triangle. Interior finishes and layouts were not impressive, but the lobby is well designed. The neighborhood has done a volte-face over the past 2 years, pushing it well along the spectrum from dodgy to saspiringly upbeat. Here's what the development team has to say: "The V at City Vista offers access to shopping, dining and all of DC. The vibrant outdoor neighborhood is paired beautifully with The V's cool, sophisticated interiors offering the finest urban living apartment experience available. Choose from 30 unique home styles including 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms designed by Michael Marshall Architecture, in collaboration with Torti Gallas and Partners. Throughout the building, you'll also enjoy world-class amenities perfect for every mood. Outside, you'll be just as impressed with The V apartments. Busboys and Poets, an Urban Lifestyle Safeway, Results Gym all can be found right downstairs. The nearby Metro whisks you wherever you need to go, and you simply can't forget about VistaGreen, a private, one-acre park created specifically for CityVista residents. These NW Washington DC apartments have everything." Well, maybe not everything, but you get the point. 460 L Street, Washington DC. (CityVista apartments for rent Washington DC)
