Gibson Plaza Groundbreaking July 28, Glimmer of Hope for Kelsey Gardens?
The future Gibson Plaza.
In the last few months, it’s seemed that the ice floes have started to crack and shift for development in Shaw: Project after project has broken financing deadlocks and will see shovels in the ground this year. Add another to the list: Gibson Plaza, the 10-story public housing behemoth on 7th and O Street NW, which will be getting a massive gut retrofit to upgrade its 217 affordable units, starting June 28th. The improvements, paid for by the federal department of Housing and Urban Development, cover a complete facade upgrade, all new green appliances, plumbing and electrical systems, new windows, and “cultured marble vanity tops” in bathrooms.

What's with the pointy things on top? The look completely unneccessary and suburban.

They will help conceal the elevator and other mechanical equipment on the roof which you can currently see when you walk up the street from the Convention Ctr Metro.
