Most important in HEWaterfront development?
I love the Hill East neighborhood's low-density, tree-lined streets of 2- and 3-story rowhouses, and fear our neighborhood could be overwhelmed by high density, high-rise development of the Hill East Waterfront. For this reason, I strongly favor the developer proposal that comes closest to extending our neighborhood's design into the Hill East Waterfront. This is the proposal of the HDG Development Group.
---- HDG would build only 3 million sq. ft. of the permitted 5 million sq. ft. The other two full development proposals would build the full 5 million sq. ft. allowed. Go down on M St. SE, by the new ballpark and look at the new blocks of 8-story high apartment/condo buildings. That is what we will get with 5 million sq. ft. of space.
---- HDG Development Group would devote most of its construction -- 2/3's of building -- to residential units, which would be an extension of our residential neighborhood. Also it would build more 3- and 4-story townhouse and low-rise condos than the other two development groups.
When you comment, please tell us where you live -- block number and street name. It will be helpful to know which comments are made by Hill East Waterfront Neighbors. Thanks.

I prefer the HDG Plan over the other developers as well. They aren't filling our neighborhood with a ton of concrete and buildings. I love all of the green spaces and the mix of retail, affordable housing, condos, and town homes. The low density allows everyone to have a view of the river and utilize the waterfront.
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes to HDG too. The HDG Plan goes into great detail on how they are going to acheive their goal of becoming the "Greenest Neighborhood in America" and still keeping our neighborhood character. Going with the green movement and still keeping our neighborhod - a neighborhood. Their plan has a Zero Carbon, Zero Waste, Sustainable Water, and what looks to be a really cool farmers market.
