D.C. developer Redbrick submitted plans to the city late last week showing a five-building, 650,000-square-foot development, dubbed “Sycamore & Oak,” at the historic St. Elizabeths campus.

The proposal for a new Black Lives Matter Plaza includes a single lane of traffic on either side of the street and a 14-foot wide pedestrian walkway in the middle.

The city says it will prioritize proposals that honor the legacies of late D.C. mayor Marion Barry Jr. and civil rights activist Frank Reeves.

The National Capital Planning Commission has proposed that an uninspired 15-block section of Southwest D.C. be turned into an “ecodistrict” connecting the National to the Southwest Waterfront.

D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton announced today that a congressional committee had given approval to a bill that would allow a massive redevelopment of the Southwest Waterfront to take place.

If you’ve got any use for a massive Art Deco-style heating plant in a great Georgetown location, the federal government might have what you’re looking for.

The City Paper reports on a development that will fascinate both homeowners along Georgia Avenue and streetcar-watchers across the city — the planned redevelopment of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center might push plans for a streetcar up the commercial corridor higher on the city’s list of priorities.

Last October, we posted about the site where Bruce Monroe Elementary School once stood, highlighting the messy debate which had surfaced after the school was controversially demolished. In short: the community has been using the site as a park, but the city’s redevelopment RFP produced a single bid proposing two options — one a mixed-use development with a organic supermarket, a restaurant, a hardware store, apartments and town homes; the other, the option to rebuild the school with, perhaps, some housing on the side.
