WASHINGTON, D.C. — Skanska has completed the excavation and foundation work for 99M, an 11-story, 234,000-square-foot office building under construction in Washington, D.C.’s Capitol Riverfront neighborhood. The building will be situated at the corner of 1st and M streets within walking distance of Nationals Ballpark and Navy Yard-Ballpark Metrorail entrances and seven blocks from the U.S. Capitol. Set to open in 2018, the asset will feature about 11,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, with two committed restaurants in place: CIRCA and Open Road. The property will also feature a green roof, rooftop terrace, fitness center, bicycle storage and four levels of underground parking. The excavation work began in November 2015. Skanska has five other development projects underway in the greater D.C. area: 2112 Pennsylvania Ave., RESA at Tyber Place, the First Street Tunnel, the headquarters facility for the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority and American University’s East Campus project.
