Over the next couple months, the center of development will shift to the area in and around Howard University. This area of the city has been known as a parking lot filled blighted and vacant area. This area is about to be the center of development in D.C. with more cranes than the city has seen in one place to date which is saying something in this city.
Atlantic Pluming Site (Building One and Building Two)
The Howard Academic Building was one of those parking lots and it is currently under construction. The other two are slated for construction in the next two years for dorms. The ones behind those will be another Campus Quad. If you go to the Howard University Campus Plan, all the plans are laid out.
I believe there have been more building permits issued in Shaw than any other neighborhood since 2010. Not sure if that held true for 2012, but Shaw has really been the center of development for several years.

I am not talking about house rehabs or rowhouse to condo conversion's. I mean actual highrise construction. There has been construction in MidCity which is the U Street corridor. Shaw, however, is just now seeing large building construction along Georgia Ave/7th street. I was mainly talking about the area around Howard that has been deviod of development for decades.

Okay. If you discount all of the projects under 100 units or 100,000sqft, you're still looking at a billion dollars of investment in the past three years in Shaw. If you go further and discount all of Shaw south of RI, (like the massive City Market at O, or the Jefferson Apartment Group projects on 7th Street) you can't ignore Progression Place and the Wonderbread Factory which are right off of the south border of Howard's campus.
Those really broke the stagnation that has defined Shaw for the past 40 years.The development pipeline is quite impressive in the neighborhood, and as soon as one crane disappears from the skyline, we have another one pop up.
^ man please. none of that is stopping developers now.
