Four Seasons Residences Top Out 

Neighbors may have seen the construction of the Four Seasons Private Residences at 1051 29th St. NW moving right along these days. In fact, the builders held a topping-out ceremony last month. Groundbreaking was in May of 2023.   

Hospitality and residential company Four Seasons, the Georgetown Company, the Levy Group and Mohari Hospitality are converting a former federal property into “an exclusive collection of bespoke, ultra-luxury homes in the heart of Georgetown,” they say. “Featuring one-to-four-bedroom residences, residents will enjoy legendary Four Seasons service and property management, timeless design and world-class amenities.” 

There will be 64 units. Owners will have views of the Potomac River, Georgetown and the Washington skyline.  

EastBanc Breaks Ground on 2715 Penn  

Commercial real estate developer EastBanc broke ground on a boutique 26,000-square-foot luxury residential project at 2715 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.   

Situated directly across from the Four Seasons Hotel, the five-story, seven-unit development is positioned at the center of one of the city’s most dynamic areas. 2715 Penn will feature distinctive architectural elements and offer residents spacious units with unobstructed views of M Street and Rock Creek Park.  

FAA Restricts Helicopter Traffic Near DCA  

In the wake of the devastating midair collision between an Army helicopter and a commercial passenger jet on Jan. 29, the Federal Aviation Administration has announced the prohibition of nonessential helicopter operations near Reagan National Airport and the permanent closure of helicopter Route 4 between Hains Point and the Wilson Bridge. The move is part of a broader series of safety reforms following the deadliest aviation disaster in the U.S. in decades.  

The area is notoriously congested. Reagan National has the country’s busiest runway and commercial planes often share airspace with helicopters.
