We received some updates on the two Level 2 Development projects planned along 14th Street near the southern boundary of Columbia Heights:  View 14 and 2400 14th Street.  View 14 is located at 14th Street and Florida Avenue NW and will offer 185 apartment units and 36,000 square feet of retail space.  The other project is located at the Nehemiah Center site (2400 14th Street NW) and will consist of 250 apartment units and 18,000 square feet of retail space. 

Project Manager Jon Kardon of Level 2 Development provided a brief progress report for these two projects.

VIEW 14

Construction will begin at View 14 sometime this month, depending on when permits our issued.  Over the last 4-6 weeks, we have been relocating a water line in 14th Street that was required by DCWASA because of the proximity of the existing line to the site.  Yes, we faced delays due to the change from condominiums to apartments, and the changing real estate market.  However, the project is moving forward.  And, yes, Bogdan Builders is temporarily storing construction materials for their adjacent project at 1330 Belmont Street on the site of View 14 until we commence construction.

2400 14th Street / Nehemiah Center

The last remaining tenant, EZ Wash, vacated this week.  We are now commencing the demolition permit process, which takes several months.  I would expect the center to be demolished in 4-6 months, and construction to start mid-2008.
