1400 Church Condominiums
Located at 1400 Church Street NW, Washington, DC 20005 | Logan Circle
Developed by Metropolis and designed by Callison RTKL, 1400 Church is also known as Lofts 14 II, and is a smaller counterpart to the larger Lofts 14 on the opposite side of the street in the Logan Circle neighborhood. Both buildings are from the same development and design team, and each was completed in 2005. The 1400 Church Street building is home to 37 one and two-bedroom condo units, ranging in size from about 744 to 1,528 square feet. Almost all are loft layouts, with stairs leading up to a bedroom, a den, or some other form of living space.
As with its sister building across the street, 1400 Church was originally an early car dealership. In fact, there were a number of showrooms and mechanic shops along 14th, Church, P, and 15th streets, creating a phalanx of automotive sales and service know as Auto Row in the 1920s and 1930s. The larger showrooms eventually moved out to the suburbs, but some body shops and smaller garages remained entrenched along the alleys and side streets. More recently, these industrial type buildings have become a boon for developers looking to fill the need for trendy, upscale condominium housing with retro trappings. Other examples are Rainbow Lofts (formerly a paint and body shop), and Matrix (a former Nash Motors showroom).
