Sept. 6, 2006 - The same location, in its pre-redevelopment days. This building housed many nightclubs over the years, with Wet and Edge being the final ones before their departures in 2007.

March 2007 - Square 699N's northeast corner, at 1st and K, in March 2007, just before demolition began.

July 12, 2014 - In June 2014, a trailer materialized across 1st Street from the new building, and it was confirmed to be the eventual Parc Riverside sales trailer.
Sept. 28, 2014 - ... And before long, signage also appeared on the fence by the trailer. However, when the project's name changed, the signage had to as well.
April 2, 2007 - Looking at Square 699N, as seen from the top floor of 20 M Street in April 2007; the intersection of Half and L streets is at bottom. Demolition began on the block the day after this photo was taken. Velocity is now on the far right of the block; Toll Brothers owns the rest of the block, including the area where the blue buildings at front are.
January 12, 2012 - Another look at Square 699N, this time from the northwest, in January 2012, showing the completed Velocity building, as well as the empty lots bought by Toll Brothers in 2012. The Tetris-like boxes at ground level were caps to various vents and other infrastructure, because Cohen Companies built the underground garage for the northern half of the block at the same as it built Velocity, assuming they would soon start on their Phase 2 building. Instead, they sold it to Toll, who only needed to start construction on Parc Riverside at ground level.
February 10, 2007 - The northeast corner of Half and L, in February 2007. This is the southern edge of the second Toll lot.
November 4, 2019 - A pulled-back view of the same location, with Velocity now towering and Parc Riverside rising at left. (Capitol Hill Tower is in the distance.) Click to see all available photos of this location.
