A 245-room micro-hotel is being planned in Chinatown at 6th and H Streets, Washington Business Journal reports.

The $60 million project, a joint venture between Monument Realty and Modus Hotels, will be among the first micro-hotels to open in the District. Construction is expected to start next month, with a 2016 projected opening.

New apartments in D.C. have been approaching the size of college dorms (albeit luxurious ones) in recent years, as developers rush to attract the young people that have flooded to town. And more teeny studios are coming: half of the micro apartments currently in the works in the entire country are in the District, according to CoStar.

But the city’s developers have been much slower to jump on micro-hotels (also called pod or capsule hotels). The basic idea is that most travelers don’t spend that much time in their hotel rooms, so cutting down on the space (and sometimes amenities) is worth it to drive down the rates for many guests. Especially the transit-loving youths.

Among the modern amenities—or lack thereof—the developers were granted zoning approval last year to skip the parking spaces (64 would normally have been required). Instead, the hotel, which is around the corner from the Chinatown/Gallery Place Metro station, will be required to provide free Capital Bikeshare membership passes to guests as well as a Bikeshare or car-sharing membership for new employees.

An 83-unit pod hotel is also in the works in Foggy Bottom, where the developer is proposing rooms that top out at 250 square feet and cost around $125 a night. A micro-hotel has also been floated as a possibility for part of the redevelopment of Dupont Underground (though staying in a subterranean 200 square-foot room may not exactly appeal to everyone).
