800 Block Demolition

Corner of 8th & L Streets

Last year the buildings at the 800 block of L Street began to fail and the city swiftly recommended the demolition. It appears they are now in the final clean up stage for the area. Demolition of that building and the one to the east of it has now made way for one of the six-story buildings planned for the site. The 800 block of K Street has been an empty hole for a couple decades now, but it now appears to be a staging area for reclaiming bricks from the demolition on L Street.  The historic Bel-Vue apartments on 8^th Street has been renovated and turning into affordable housing. When construction of the 800 block of K & L Street does begin, the plans are to build 148 apartments and have 10,000 square feet of retail in the area.
