New Condo Spotlight: Metropole

By Cynthia Allen

What: Metropole 
Where: 15th and P streets, NW, near Logan Circle
Closest Metro station: McPherson Square, on the Blue and Orange lines, is four blocks away; the Red line’s Dupont Circle is five blocks.
Number of Units: 90, with 30 floor-plan options.
Sizing: One and two bedroom units range from 630 to 2,400 square feet. The most popular seller is the two-bedroom, 1,200-square-foot unit.  
Pricing: Prices begin in the mid-$400,000s and top off at about $1.6 million. The average price is $800,000.
Green Factor: Environment-friendly features include: 
    • Recycling of “waste” energy from the gym to heat residences
    • Large windows to bring in natural light
    • Energy Star appliances such as Bosch water-conserving washing machines
Luxurious Touches: Full concierge service—one phone call nets dinner reservations, arrangements for a dog walker, or someone to water the plants. There also will be a 23,000-square-foot health club.
Building Amenities:  Most units have private terraces or balconies and Bosch and Sub-Zero stainless-steel appliances. Underground parking is available for all residents. The retail level of the building will house a day spa, salon, and restaurants.
That’s Unique: Need a guest room? Metropole owners can reserve two guest suites for a yet-to be-determined fee.
Expected Completion: January 2008
On sale: Approximately 57 percent of the building is sold.  

Comments

Thanks for your comment.

The 75% figure came directly from the sales office when we originally contacted them. After seeing your comment, we called back to double-check—the correct number is 57%. We’ve updated the original blog posting to reflect the correct number.

Thanks for pointing it out to us.

57% of the building is sold, not 75%. Sales have been slower than expected.
