The Erie Condominiums is an eight-unit condo project slated for completion in March, 2009. The Erie is one block from the Adams Morgan strip, which gives it great access to local retail and nightlife, while remaining on relatively quiet Champlain Street. The developer calls it "a new luxury condo building in the heart of Adams Morgan...featuring open mezzanine levels, elevator access, rooftop patios, private parking..." Project by DBLee Development (see 2424 Lofts), designed by DC-based Bonstra Haresign, and built by CDG Construction (Capital Design Group), the building will be steel-framed rather than the more common wood frame for low-rise buildings, with poured concrete floors, and one level of underground parking containing 8 spaces. Sales began in September, 2008. Prices start at $554,000 for the only one-bedroom unit in the building (now sold), then jump to $1m for the two-bedroom condos. Four penthouse condos have large outdoor spaces. Finishes are a blend of Santa Fe style (rounded, saffron walls), with modern industrial touches like polished concrete floors and bamboo cabinets.
