My big fear is that the other lots that Mohanna controls will end up the same as the southeast corner of 8th and K. That includes the quarter-block just south, which includes the Bel-Vue Apartments (forcibly vacated) and 815 L Street. That quarter-block includes some pretty great old buildings, just dying for adaptive reuse, that would be a great complement for the building slated for the corner of 10th and L. The Bel-Vue wasn't considered an SRO, and personally I'd consider it a heck of a spot for a "higher low-income" reuse project along the lines of Pensione K (with retail below and residences above) but utilizing a faded gem of a building instead of new construction, aimed at the LI and VLI income levels.

As for the higher incomes, I'm still thinking there are going to be a couple of residential towers on Capitol Mall pretty soon that will fill that need.
