555 Mass Ave you
know the
neighborhood.
This 14 story 264
unit building was
originally intended
for apartments.
There was so much
more money to be
made selling
condominiums than
renting apartments,
so they had the jump
the competition who
were scrambling to
enter the vibrant DC
condo market. When
other were just
breaking ground all
around it, JBG Group
of Chevy Chase
altered there plans
and delivered 264
condominium homes
over two years ahead
of the competition.
The plot of land
where 555 sits had
been a parking lot
for years. Three
metro stops are
within three block
and everything else
Chinatown and
Gallery Place has to
offer is a short
walk away.
Everything but a
supermarket that is,
but there is a
Safeway already
under construction a
block away. The end
result is 264
condominium homes
with loads of
amenities. The
efficiencies here
start in the upper
$200, one bedroom
from the low $300
and two bedroom in
the low $500 and the
amenities .
