Progress on riverfront at Nationals Park?

A property across the street from Nationals Park and on the Anacostia riverfront might see development after years of stalling. Patriot Transportation Holdings (through its subsidiary Florida Rock Properties) has announced a joint development venture that could lead to a ground breaking as early as spring of 2013. Patriot is partnering with MidAtlantic Realty Partners, which is investing $4.5 million for a 30 percent share in the venture. The two are asking to switch up the originally proposed office building for the site to build an apartment building for its first phase. No word on how many units are proposed. — Liz Farmer
