Last Friday, the Washington, DC Economic Partnership released their 2009/2010 Development Report, which will be my go-to guide for project renderings and construction stats until the next edition comes out in roughly a year.
Anyone even vaguely familiar with the local real estate market (or, for that matter, almost any real estate market in the U.S. this year and last) has noticed a slow-down in construction. The big story in D.C. was about condo projects suddenly transforming into apartment projects.
Anyway, here’s a clear picture of just how things have changed in the last few years. The numbers represent completed new units in the given year:
| Rental Units | Home Ownership | Condos | |
| 2007 | 2,547 | 2,586 | 2,083 |
| 2008 | 2,398 | 1,681 | 1,612 |
| 2009 (YTD) | 2,055 | 385 | 235 |
