A Four-Story Residential Development Pitched a Block From DC’s Social Safeway
A new residential development may be in the works for the northern edge of Georgetown.
Fortis Companies has applied for Old Georgetown Board review of a concept that would replace the single-story commercial building and surface parking lot at 1805 Wisconsin Avenue NW (map) with a four-story building, delivering residential units above retail.

While the exact number of units are still being determined, the proposed building would have roughly 35,000 square feet of residential and 10,000 square feet of retail space. There would also be 23 below-grade parking spaces.
New Realm of Development: European Architecture Team Joins Local Developers to Try to Bring First Floating Homes to Boston
Great leaders have often said if one doesn’t know exactly how to bring something innovative and new to the market, then go find someone that does.
That’s exactly what has happened for 6M Development’s Bill Caulder and his local team in their Pier 5 proposal for the first floating housing community in Boston, reaching out all the way to the Netherlands and London for the pre-eminent floating community architects in the world.
The development team for one of the floating community plans for Pier 5 (seen in the background) believes they have assembled the right amount of local talent, and the best design professionals from Europe, to be able to build Boston’s first floating community on Pier 5. A community meeting Feb. 8 will hear their proposal and two others on Monday, Feb. 8. Pictured here are Al Carrier, Bill Caulder, Gregg Nolan and Gosder Cherius.
Three Lively Proposals Look to Liven up Blighted Pier 5
The Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA) told the development community they would need to be creative with any proposals from the blighted, condemned Pier 5 in the Navy Yard, and three entities did just that proposing innovative plans for mixed-use reuses of the pier.
All three proposals will be reviewed in a public meeting on Feb. 8, and full submissions are now available on the project website.
The proposal by 6M Development uses part of the old Pier 5 as an anchor to a new floating residential community.
The Charlestown Marina and partners propose a floating community with live-on vessels and 55 new boat slips after the existing Pier 5 is demolished.
