The building going up at 1st and M Streets in Northeast is now officially called Archstone First + M, perhaps so it doesn't get confused with the other Archstone building going up in NoMa over on K Street. We got word on some more specifics about this 469-unit project that is expected to deliver in July 2012 and the perks are en fuego. The breakdown of the units is: one bedrooms (192), two bedrooms (206), and three bedrooms (71). But the amenities are what every hipster wants to hear. Not only is there bike storage, but also a bike maintenance facility, professional-grade pet washing stations, and two soundproof rooms for music practice or meditation (not simultaneously). We've got the full list of amenities—like the gym and chef's display kitchen in the resident lounge—after the break.
