The approval comes after Toll Brothers acquired the property at M and First streets NW for $60M in March 2018. The developer began demolishing the 1960s-era buildings on the site in November, and filed its PUD application that same month.

Approximately 20 percent “affordable” housing is a pitifully paltry number, considering that DC transferred a public site that had all subsidized public housing to one of the country’s biggest residential development companies.

This should be Exhibit A to show how Bowser cares far more about rewarding developers cronies and contributors than about creating truly affordable housing.
