New K St. high-rise planned

The District is nearing approval of a 12-story office building to be constructed at the intersection of the lawyer and lobbyist universe: Connecticut Avenue and K Street Northwest.

The D.C. Zoning Commission is expected to give final consent in early January to the development at 1000 Connecticut Ave., a $60 million, 369,393-square-foot office structure diagonally across from Farragut Square. The project, which requires two votes from the commission, won initial unanimous approval earlier this month.
