[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there really a demand for high-rise residential living in DC?[/quote] I could see decent demand for one or two luxury residential towers. First, people like new apartments. Second, a massive tower near Metro Center would have a really nice view of the entire mall. The practical problems are first, that it would need a lot of parking so it would be like one of those ugly *ss Miami or LA residential towers on top of a parking podium. Second, it is highly unprecedented in western capitals to have the seat of government lorded over by massive residential towers. There are some tallish residential towers in Paris and London, but their locations are similar to Anacostia within the cities. There would be no demand for a residential tower in Anacostia.[/quote]
