[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cheapest possible housing is about to come to Cleveland Park in the form of hundreds of Condos in the old fFannie Mae building. If that doesn’t elevate the housing problem, what will?[/quote]
What’s the pricing?[/quote]
Forget the pricing, I just looked at the sketch drawings and Wisconsin Ave is going to be forever unusable once this is done. It’s friggin enormous. I count 7 buildings behind the Fannie Mae building. How did this ever get approved based on traffic impacts alone? They also refuse to release pricing, but entry price will easily be $700k from the looks of things. I’m not sure how this development will support the more supply reduces price thesis. [/quote]

if you want to test drive Wisconsin, look at how DC let the develop install a new traffic signal between the existing signals at Rodman/Sidwell garage and the other signal at the post office.  The new intersection will be the primary entrance to the new complex and will be how the big Wegmans 18-wheelers exit (on an upgrade to Wisconsin Ave.).  The developer did not want commercial traffic using the old driveway to the north of the Fannie Building because it would route the traffic next to the high-end residences it is selling.  So instead, the developer got DC to let it build the new access road on the complex's south side, next to McLean Gardens.  Now imagine how it will be when through traffic on Wisconsin has to stop for three signals within a distance of about 130 yards, and how the big rigs will exit the new access road and make tight turns north or south on Wisconsin into stopped traffic at the Rodman and post office signals.

No wonder DDOT's long term plan is to divert more traffic from Wisconsin to Reno.[/quote]
