Dunbar Place on North Capitol

                                                                                                        

The Historic Preservation Office has approved the razing of six adjoining row houses: 1322-30 North Capitol Street, NW [formerly owned by North Capitol Neighborhood Development] and 7 Hanover Place, NW, to make way for Thoron Development's Dunbar Place, a five-story condominium building.

Thoron founder Robert Taylor describes Dunbar Place as a five-story, 29-unit condominium project that will include a deck of underground parking, ground-level green space, and a rooftop deck.   Having completed the design phase of Dunbar Place with PGN Architects, Thoron now moves into the permit process, after which it will begin construction, with completion by the end of 2009.  Taylor hopes that Dunbar Place and Mews will augment the blossoming NoMa neighborhood and notes that neighbors and the local ANC feel likewise.

                                                   

Dunbar Place used to be Dunbar Towers, but Thoron recently dropped the name.  

As Taylor notes, “It didn’t really look like a tower.” Dunbar Mews, around the corner on O Street, is another Thoron project, this one an eight-unit renovation.  Thoron recently completed Parkview Condos, a 24-unit renovation of a historic building at 610 Irving St., NW.

  

Just a few blocks north of the new project, at 1600 North Capitol (http://www.dcrealestate.com/condos.php?prop=376), sits a lot with plans for a 40-unit building [the Joe Mamo project], where progress on and interest in the development is hard to detect, while just a few blocks south lies Northwest One and all of Noma, where progress is significantly easier to detect.   Let's hope the activity to the south is a better indicator of success.
