These two lots, backing up on each other, held by separate entities, USA Holdings, LLC and Dolman St Townhomes, LLC, respectively, were started last year and the Dolman St address is progressing quickly while the S 18th address appears to be inhabited.

The 18th Street address had single family permits pulled on it in an aborted $300k new build in 2017. This build claimed $500k on its permit pull.

Dolman St. doesn't appear to have had permits pulled on it previously (in recent memory) and claims a $200k build on its pull. The city, in 1993, paid $6,000 to demolish the home that stood here (technically on the 1023 address.)

Note the expensive glass doors on the yard-side of the garage:

1025 Dolman St:

Is full-brick required there, or are these folks just doing it for their own sake? 

1022 had been inhabited for about 3 months now

1025 was started around April/May. It’s gone up quick

Generally, in order to get the "go-ahead" from the community in Lafayette Square, full brick is required. But I do know that there are 90s and aughts projects that are front-bricked or front-plastered only.

It isn't even just the full-brick... it's also stone-pattern foundations, elaborate parapet/chimney, round windows on the front, arched windows above and on the side...even the basement windows in front are arched! lol That backyard fence is unfortunate, but this is very impressive.

Who are the developer and architect on this?
