The future site of the Apollo
We've seen a ton of development related news in the recent days/weeks. Here are some things you won't want to miss:
There's a new mixed use project coming to M Street between 3rd and 4th. It would feature 401 residential units and as much as 12,900sqft of retail space, plus 175 buried parking spaces.

I wish we could fast forward to 2017. H street is going to be so different then.
I completely agree DD. Looking forward to it! Finally real change has come. Just wish the Rite Aid strip would come down.
Here here! I love it when a "plan" comes together.
It would be nice to see some of this development work down Benning Rd.
anonymous, what's wrong with the ride aid strip? people use those places...
"people use those places..." as a bathroom. True story.
I'll do anything for the Rite Aid strip to come down. H STREET CONNECTION, NOW!
+ 1,000,000 re H Street Connection. I don't know anyone who goes to the RiteAid and most of my neighbors don't even walk the part of H Street NE nearest us (nearest corner is 8th and H) - everyone avoids it because it feels unsafe, depressing and smells of urine. Whilst we all want to have amenities to use, there is no need for things to be run-down and disgusting. Come on Rappaport, please develop H Street Connection!!!
