GROUND BREAKS ON MIXED-USE BUILDING

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Skanska USA Commercial Development has broken ground for the development of 733 10th & G, a mixed-use project located at 733 10th St. in Washington. The project will consist of eight stories of office space, 165,000 rentable square feet, ground-level retail space and worship space for First Congregational United Church of Christ. The project is seeking at minimum LEED Gold certification and will feature green elements, including a green roof, energy-efficient floor-to-ceiling windows, green housekeeping and improved indoor air quality. Cunningham & Quill Architects and Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects are providing architectural services for the project, which is scheduled for completion in late 2011. Last year, Skanska acquired the development rights for project, which was originally being developed by PN Hoffman.
