Hidden behind a conservative gothic revival terra cotta facade, is one of the coolest and most interesting residential buildings in Downtown DC. Mather Studios made history in 2003 as the first Downtown office building to be converted to residential use. PN Hoffman partnered with the DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) to deliver both market-rate lofts as well as 12 affordable artist studios. The artist studios are located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of Mather Studios with market-rate units on floor 4-10.
The lobby of Mather Studios sets the tone for the building with custom artwork, granite flooring and designer lighting. Shiny metallic doors leading to each residence help to define the unique style of this building. Chic…

Congressional Overlook Slashes Prices

Capitol Hill Luxury New Construction
Reminiscent of a late night Billy Mays price slashing infomercial, luxury Capitol Hill development Congressional Overlook has cut prices to the bone to move the remaining inventory. With a location directly across the street from Congressional Office Buildings and two blocks from the Capitol, this location is residential gold for DC power brokers.
The recent price cuts for the remaining Congressional Overlook units are among the most aggressive that I have seen recently in the DC luxury new construction market. Can anyone remember a 58% reduction in asking price?
All three of these units are multi-level, the A units are lower level and the B units are uppers. Here is a resource to view the active listings at…

Logan Circle Loft District
Sunday, September 5th, 2010 at 10:27am. 1097 Views, 0 Comments.
There is a buzz in our office when new loft units come on the market in developments on Church Street in the Logan Circle neighborhood. Our office location at 1506 14th Street, just around the corner from Church Street, brings lots of Logan loft shoppers to our door. The dearth of Logan Circle loft units available for sale over the past couple of quarters has created significant pent-up demand with current our pool of Logan area condo buyers.
The block of Church Street between 14th Street and 15th Street is widely viewed as ground zero of the Logan Circle loft district. Loft projects on this block include: Lofts 14; Lofts 14 Two; Saxon Court; The Metro; Citta 50 and Rainbow Lofts.
Currently, two Church Street loft units are listed for sale. A 2BR /…
