Yesterday’s Post covers the comeback of Southwest DC, picking up on a number of changes and themes SW blogger William Rich discussed in his Urban Igloo interview earlier this month. Developments mentioned by the Post include:

  • The new 54,100-square-foot Safeway
  • The return of CVS and Bank of America
  • The reopening of Fourth Street
  • Leases signed by Subway and another restaurant
  • Three DC government agencies moving into office space
  • A renovated 126-apartment building and similar size condo building
  • Waterfront Station, a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use project
  • Two other major Waterfront developments awaiting financing
They quote neighborhood commission chair Andrew Litsky as saying “The bottom line is that Southwest is back. For everyone who was complaining there was a paucity of everything, they’re wrong.”
