An architectural rendering of the new condo and retail space at 14th and R streets NW. (Val Boudreaux – Eric Colbert & Associates) “The existing structures are a blessing in the sense that they add a lot of character,” Colbert says. Character might mean exposed brick or small, unusual spaces that require a little decorative imagination. “Old buildings make you do things you may not do elsewhere [such as] create little nooks,” Colbert says. Nooks that might be perfect for a baby grand piano or an oversized plant.
Colbert is working with interior designer Olvia Demetriou who designed the 14th Street restaurant and lounge Lost Society.
The new owner of the mission buildings, Jeffrey Schonberger of Alturas Real Estate Interests, said condo prices will be on par with those of Northern Exchange, ranging from $419,900 to $849,900. The bottom floors will include space for four retail businesses. Colbert says he plans to “re-create the old storefronts that were there originally” and “really celebrate the historical components of the designs.”
Schonberger says he will be very picky about the retail that goes in the spaces. “We want to make sure they are good neighbors to the residents,” he said. “All of our retailers are of a certain ilk and they’re all local. We like dealing with local tenants . . . high-end without question. We’re looking at a lot of different retailers, [and] we have a tremendous amount of interest at this point.”
Schonberger is still thinking about what to name the new complex but is considering calling it “The Mission,” after the shelter it is replacing.
