According to data compiled by McGraw-Hill Construction, the Washington, DC MSA ranked fourth nationally for new construction starts in 2011.  At $8.1B, DC trailed only New York City, Dallas and Houston in new construction starts.  The study encompassed both residential and commercial construction, but does not include public works projects like the Metro expansion to Dulles.

In the residential sector, new construction projects remain highly sought after by DC property shoppers. Most of the projects that are delivering this year are smaller rehabs of existing buildings, rather than new buildings.  Here is a resource to view DC new construction condo listings.

The Capitol Hill condo project on on D Street formerly known as Congressional Overlook is now back on the market as Congressional Mews. The project features eight units with true Victorian-era styling and upscale finishes.  With a location directly across the street from Congressional Office Buildings, Congressional Mews offers prime access to our nation's power brokers.

This project originally hit the market at the worst time and the units languished unsold as the developer was slow to adjust pricing expectations to the changing market.  Per MLS data, 23 D Street sold on 04/06/10 for $1.9M to an LLC based in Seffner, FL.  Per the DC Real Property Assessment Database records, the remaining six unsold units at Congressional Overlook were sold to a

With the 1500 block of 14th Street in Logan Circle attracting powerhouse brands like Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and TTR Sotheby's International Realty, it was only a matter of time for development to spread southward to the 1400 and 1300 block of 14th Street. While Caribou Coffee was a start, to date there hasn't been a groundswell of development activity on these blocks.

Upstart DC-based developers CAS Riegler have made a mixed-use bet on the former Lionel Train store located 1324 14th Street.  A ground floor restaurant and five upscale condos being marketed as Lionel Lofts are currently under construction as chronicled by Preservation Nation.
