The project includes the construction of 635 residential units, out of which 84 will be built for seniors, along with 401 market-rate apartments and 150 luxury condominiums.
It also involves the demolition of a former Giant grocery store and the restoration of the historic 1881 O Street Market building to house a 72,000ft2 Giant Food supermarket.
The development will also include retail and restaurants, a 182-room Cambria Suites hotel, over 500 parking spaces, 300 indoor bike-parking stalls and a 270-linear-foot rooftop dog park.
The Giant Food supermarket is expected to be completed in summer 2013 and the 182-room hotel and 401 units of market-rate rental housing in early autumn 2013.
