D.C.’s Eckington neighborhood, which sits just north of the much-hyped and fast-developing NoMa neighborhood near Union Station, is seeing its dilapidated row houses and small apartment buildings quietly transformed into luxury condos and apartments as local developers seek to cash in on the inevitable influx of office workers to NoMa.

NoMa, which stands for North of Massachusetts Avenue, was designated a business improvement district last year and is slated for 10 million square feet of commercial development. Developers have already turned row houses and storefronts on V Street, Rhode Island Avenue and 4th Street into loft-style housing and apartments and are beginning work on at least six other projects ranging in size from five to 30 units elsewhere in the Eckington neighborhood.
