View14 is a 9-story, 275,000 sq-ft project that will be a true gateway, bridging the gap between the 14th and U Street corridor and Columbia Heights. The site, which sits approximately 25 feet above U ST and borders the 14th St Historic District to the south, provides stunning views of the City in all directions. In a nod to 14th Street’s past as “Auto Row”, the building’s design will combine a traditional, industrial-styled retail “base” element with a modern residential component above. View 14 will take advantage of its prominent site through the use of floor to ceiling glass, angled bays, and terraces to capture its stunning views of downtown.

Included in the PUD’s Public Benefits Package is an affordable housing component and the removal of the blighted Comcast satellite farm and tower antenna from the corner of 14th St. and Florida Ave. Additionally, Level 2 Development will support local initiatives by contributing to area organizations such as the Parent’s Association of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Boys and Girls Club #10 on 14th St. and the Children’s Studio School at 13th St. and V St., NW.

Level 2 Development has two other projects in Columbia Heights: The Mercury at Meridian and Aventura Condominiums. Both projects are within 2 blocks of View14.
