Excerpt:

The developer said he is under contract to purchase an auto body shop at 1708 Good Hope Road in Southeast D.C., on the border between Anacostia and Fairlawn, that he plans to develop into a 188-unit apartment complex with 25,000 to 30,000 square feet of retail. He would not disclose the price.

The repair outfit, called Murphy’s Auto Body Shop, is at the intersection of Good Hope and 17th Street. It is four blocks east of the headquarters for the D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development, which moved there two years ago.
