DCMud is reporting that a new DC condominium loft complex will be coming to Dupont Circle, possibly as early as Spring of 2011.
According to the DCMud, the FORMDesign group purchased the building at 1737 Connecticut Avenue in June and the plans are coming into focus. The building was Anna Maria’s Italian Restaurant, but will soon be converted. On the bottom two floors there will be a restaurant, with four loft style condominium units above.
The units should be in the neighborhood of 1,800 square feet, DCMud reports. Furthermore, the condominiums on the third, fourth, and fifth floors will reach 12 feet further in the back to create additional space.
“FORM will add a partial sixth story and bump out several floors of the historic structure, expanding the 7,300 s.f. space into an 11,000 s.f. mixed-use development,” DCMud wrote. ”The design also calls for an elevator, which will have to be concealed from street level with any necessary equipment. Dario Davies, CEO of MasterBuilt andPrincipal at FORMDesign, said the group is currently negotiating with several interested restaurateurs to take the spot on the first two floors.”
It will be exciting to keep tabs on this new Dupont project as it continues to progress.
