Julius Hobson Plaza Condos For Sale

Offering the opportunity for condo ownership in the Washington, DC’s urban buzzworthy NoMa neighborhood (North of Massachusetts Avenue) is the Julius Hobson Plaza condominium complex. Made up of four large monolithic brick buildings that were first delivered circa 1925, this is a formerly abandoned apartment complex that was converted to condos for sale in 1980.

The structures at Julius Hobson Plaza are all within a triangular block bounded by M Street NW, New York Avenue NW and Capitol Street NW. The actual street addresses are 55 M Street, and 66, 80 and 86 New York Avenue. This affordable condo community is just a few blocks west of the popular Atlas District, and quite close to Gallaudet University. The buildings are also very close to the NoMa/Gallaudet U Metro Station on New York Avenue.

Additional Info About Julius Hobson Plaza Condominium Residences

The force behind converting Julius Hobson Plaza condos for sale was Alvin Nichols of Nichols Creative, who steered the renovations and redevelopment of these blighted properties during a severe economic downturn that threatened to halt the process. But Nichols persevered, and the complex became one of the earliest examples of DC’s current, extended urban renewal period.

There are 86 one and two-bedroom units between the four buildings, typically ranging in size from 550 to 950 square feet. Condos for sale in this complex are modestly priced, from the high $100s to about $300,000. You get plenty for your buck as well, with hardwood floors, lots of light, tiled bathrooms, and cozy nooks and alcoves with original architectural touches. The kitchens have all been updated to some extent, with many featuring granite counters and stainless steel appliances.

That this early renovation development happened in NoMa was fitting—the community was at the forefront of the city’s revitalization movement, and spurred by the success of those in the creative community. That includes the emergence of a new nightclub and entertainment scene in the 1980s, as well as the renovation of the Atlas Performing Arts Center which was once a grand Art Deco movie house.
