1214 Bladensburg Road

The building owner of 1214-1216 Bladensburg Road NE (map), along with contract purchaser Urbanico Realty Group, received zoning approval in August for plans to replace the retail building with 41 residential units. The new development will be four stories with habitable cellar and penthouse, and will include a fitness center and 14 bicycle spaces. Although the project will not provide any parking, each homeowner will be given a Smartrip preloaded with $100, and up to three years Capital Bikeshare membership, or a one-time carshare membership.

Gal Bouskila and Bonstra|Haresign Architects designed the building, and five of the units will be set aside as inclusionary zoning. Urbanico Realty is also working on development next door at 1200 Bladensburg Road.
