Hard-Hat Tour: Inside the Atlantic Plumbing Building (Photos)

Developer JBG Cos. recently announced prices for its Atlantic Plumbing condos at Eighth and V streets, Northwest, with junior one-bedrooms starting in the high $300,000s to penthouses for $1.9 million. Though the 62-unit project won’t be done until March 2015, Matt Blocher, JBG’s senior VP of marketing and communications, says a third of the condos have already sold.

Named for the Atlantic Plumbing building that used to occupy the site just off U Street near the 9:30 Club, the JBG project consists of both the condos and a larger, 310-unit apartment building across the street, scheduled for completion toward the end of 2015. Look a block southward down Eighth, and you’ll spot two other under-construction JBG buildings: the Hatton (condos) and the Shay (apartments), which should deliver in late spring.

For now, here’s a sneak peek at the progress being made at the Atlantic Plumbing condos.

The lobby, with elevators etched to resemble the cage doors found in historic buildings.

What will become one of two restaurants on the building’s ground floor. JBG says it will announce the names of the restaurants soon.

Cabinets on the even-numbered floors of the six-level building will feature this light tone, while those on odd-numbered floors will be darker.

Living rooms, like the one above, all have floor-to-ceiling windows.

All units have either one or two bedrooms. Here’s one of them in progress.
