Letter
Dear Mr. Lefebvre:
In its public meeting of 19 September conducted by videoconference, the Commission of Fine Arts approved, based on its prior review of the submission materials, a revised concept design for alterations and additions to Portals I, located at 1250 Maryland Avenue, SW, to convert this office building to residential use (case number SL 24-166). In its approval action, the Commission recommended further design development of the retail frontage, signage, landscape, lighting, building section details, and materials as part of the permit submission.
For the development and documentation of the design, please consult with the staff, which is available to assist you.
Sincerely,
/s/Thomas E. Luebke, FAIA
