1120 Rhode Island Ave- Almost at Sheetrock

*Reminder- please update your bookmarks to http://lock7development.com/blog/ to continue reading all the newest posts from Lock 7 Development.  Thanks!

At The Newport Tower, we're moving along and aiming to have the Sheetrock installed by April 15th.  We're right on track, and we're finishing up the electric and the sprinklers this week.  The basement concrete is all poured and we're framing out that floor today and Monday.

This might look similar to past photos, but if you look closely, you'll see all the progress with the electric, plumbing and sprinklers.

On the side of the building, we dug out the new areaway to access the lower level.  Fortunately, the plumbing to the street runs in the same spot, so we were able to accomplish both tasks at the same time.

2108 10th- The Thompson- Almost Done

The Thompson at 10th and V St NW is in the final stages of construction.  We are aiming to be 99% done within the next two weeks.  The appliances and cabinets have arrived, and the quartz subcontractor came today to measure.

It's amazing how much better everything looks with paint and lighting.

The bathrooms are all finished and ready for mirrors.

The welders worked today to finish the rear decks.

The cabinets are installed, but were covered up again to protect them from damage.

1120 Rhode Island- Moving Along

Things are looking great at the Newport Tower.  We're into the part of the project where the pictures don't really do much justice to all the progress.  However, we really are getting much closer to completion and should have the sheetrock up within the next three weeks.

The plumbers finished the plumbing in the basement earlier today.  Check out the awesome head height.

Our carpenters finished framing out the steps to the roof.

Another carpenter works here to finish the wood trim around the exterior windows.

2108 10th St NW- Final Stages

At the Thompson Condominiums, we're finishing quickly and will be done at the very beginning of April.  Our hard hat tour last weekend was a huge success, and we already have a few interested buyers.  Through today- Tuesday- 6 groups have reserved spots for next Sunday's private tour, which is an excellent start to the week.

The decks are taking shape in the rear.

Inside, the floor crews are installing the new finished-in-place hardwood floors.

This building has tons of natural light.

The tiling is nearly done.  The glass door contractor is coming tomorrow to measure.

Our roof deck isn't done, but we have a great model from the owner next door.

The Thompson- A few weeks left!

At The Thompson at 2108 10th St NW, our crews are hard at work finishing the trim and hanging all the doors.  We've also started on the tile work, and the roofer is finishing up small details on the roof.  Tomorrow, our painters will be priming all the walls.  We will be installing the cabinets and floors in about two weeks and aim to be on the market for the first week in April.

The back is all ready for the stairs and decks, which we're going to begin next week.

Camillo works to hang the doors on the first floor.

In the penthouse, the baseboards are finished and ready for hardwood floors.

In the penthouse, the steps are also all trimmed out.

 

Here, our tile subcontractor works to lay the tile in the loft bath.

The Homasote has all been delivered and will be installed next week.

1449 Harvard St NW- Almost Topped Out

The addition at Harvard Row is almost complete.  The final stage is framing the roof, which we hope to complete in the next few days.  The addition was a massive undertaking.  Between the excavation, new foundation, concrete work, and framing, we basically built a new house.  The addition is over 3000 SF, which would be a massive house on it's own.  When you add that to the 4000 SF of existing space in the original house, you can really grasp how large these units will be once complete.

Here's the rear addition from the alley.

The rear level of unit 2 has tons of light.

Most of the units in the building are in this condition.  They are all framed, but we're waiting to finish the roof to run any electric, mechanical or plumbing.  The goal is to start early next week.

The two-level rear unit is huge- almost 1250 SF.

The new building will be about 4 feet taller than the old one.  Here, you can see the block walls are in place, but the old roof hasn't been removed yet in the front of the house.  That will come out next week.

Framing out the final floor.

The sunny weather yesterday was incredible, especially after all the rain the day before.
