Redevelopment of 619 Newton Place in Full Swing
It’s been a while since I visited 619 Newton Place, NW, to see how this former blighted property is coming along. It’s taken a while to get this property moving. In April 2013 it was finally fenced off indicating that construction was on the horizon. However, permits for the current development were not issued until October and December of 2013.
According to the permits, the property is in the process of being converted from a single family dwelling into a two-unit flat with a third floor addition and deck addition at the rear. I think its interesting that they decided to incorporate the original facade into the new design rather than apply for a raze permit. I’ll definitely be watching this one to see how it turns out.
