Development at MedLINK
The Capitol Hill Group, which owns MedLINK Hospital, is again developing plans to build up to 300 condo units at the facility. There will be a meeting coordinated by commissioners from ANC6A and 6C at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, March 16, 2005 featuring a presentation of initial designs by the architect and a public question and answer session. The meeting will be at St. James Episcopal Church, located adjacent to the MedLink site at 222 8th Street NE.
The 1928 building at the corner of 8th Street and Constitution Avenue
would be renovated. The 1956 buildings would be demolished and new buildings
would be built in their place. The new designs require approval by the
Historic Preservation Review Board, which may discuss the plans in late
April.
[see concept drawings]
MedLINK has proposed providing 1.1 underground parking spaces per residential unit. There would be two entries to underground parking on 7th Street and C Street, with a third entry on 8th Street, and a drop-off court with an entry on Constitution Avenue.
If you have comments on the proposal after the meeting, please e-mail your thoughts to spna@stantonpark.org.
