1. 1221 Van Marker

Inscription. The parcel on which 1221 Van is located was once the site of a much frequented gas station at the corner of South Capitol and N Streets, which operated until late 2007. Once owned by Monument Realty and Lehman Brothers, the site was purchased by the JBG Companies—now JBG Smith—in 2014 and was the site of a popular barbecue pop-up before construction began in 2016. 1221 Van delivered in early 2018 with 291 luxury units and ground floor retail space, and a rooftop with views into Nationals Park. JBG Smith is also developing next-door building West Half, which further reinforces their commitment to the future of the Capitol Riverfront's renaissance.

Erected 2019 by Capitol Riverfront. (Marker Number 13.)
