WMATA's Planning, Development, and Real Estate subcommittee
has recommended to the full board that NJA Associates LLC (a subsidiary of
Donohoe) be picked to purchase and develop the 5,612-sq-ft
east entrance of the Navy Yard Metro station at
New Jersey and M. Donohoe already owns 16,406 sq ft directly adjoining this property, and has received zoning approvals for its plans to build the
1111 New Jersey Avenue office building on the site; however, they would apparently expand the building's design to 206,000 sq ft with the new land acquisition, or go up to as much as 220,000 sq ft if the Zoning Commmission approves. And since the building would front M Street with this expanded configuration, it would also need to go through a
Capitol Gateway Overlay Review to make sure it conforms with the design requirements now expected of
M Street buildings.
The full WMATA board will consider
approval of the plan to begin negotiating this sale at
this Thursday's meeting; you can see a rendering of Donohoe's pre-expansion design on my
1111 NJ page, and also feel free to look at the
Joint Development Solicitation from last fall that started this process. (And, anticipating your questions: no, there's been no movement that I've heard or seen on the sale of the Chiller Plant site on the
southwest corner of Half and L.)
UPDATE: Of course, the west side of the Navy Yard station is already getting developed and expanded, as work continues on
55 M Street, the office building that will fill the northern portion of Monument's Half Street development.
