Planned Monroe Street Market building in Brookland alters look

Since Monroe Street Market opened in Brookland in October 2014, the neighborhood has been booming with new developments and higher home values. The $200 million mixed-use project has brought a total of 720 residences, 83,000-square-feet of street-level retail, and 20,000-square-feet of amenity space across three buildings. UrbanTurf now reports that the final building planned for the project has a new look and a few modifications.

Located at Block E between 7th and Monroe streets NE, the plans originally called for a six-story building with 23,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, topped by 156 multi-family residential units. 171 parking spaces were also planned.

The project for Block E now calls for adding a second residential lobby, creating a larger landscape buffer by the property on Lawrence Street NE, and lowering the number of planned parking spaces to 99 parking spaces.
