Buyers interested in a new condo with a decidedly urban feel might want to have a look at Tribeca, which is selling units on the edge of the NoMa neighborhood in Northeast Washington.
The 14-story building’s ninety-nine units have already been built, with about 30 percent under contract. Prices range from $479,900 to $1,039,000.
Valerie Grange, sales manager at Urban Pace, which is handling sales and marketing, said most of the units have private balconies in addition to shared rooftop space. “That’s really important now more than ever,” Grange said.

Tribeca has ninety-nine units with about 30 percent under contract. Most of the units have private balconies.
Anthony Estelle, 47, is a management analyst and an early buyer. Estelle said he intends to rent out the townhouse he owns in the Deanwood neighborhood, also in Northeast, and make the move in late September or early October, when Tribeca units are available to occupy.
“I noticed the new construction while driving down New York Avenue one Sunday evening,” he said. “When I got home, I immediately contacted my Realtor. Long story short, I was one of the first to purchase a unit at Tribeca.”

Estelle picked a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit on the penthouse level. “I was sold on the view,” he said. He said he also “loved the modern look of the units, including the herringbone tile in the bathroom, floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek finishes, custom cabinetry, and the awesome amenities.”

Kitchens have custom cabinetry, Bosch appliances and concealed microwaves.
Building amenities include a rooftop with lounge seating, dining tables and a fire pit. There’s garden space outside as well as lounge space inside. Purchasing any two-bedroom unit makes the buyer eligible for a ground-level garage space that sells for $45,000. The building also offers a Tesla-sharing program that residents can tap into via a phone app. Prices for car rentals have yet to be determined.
The units are available in four configurations, including one-bedroom and one-bathroom with a den. Two-bedroom units come with one or two bathrooms.
One-bedroom units range from 724 to 802 square feet. Prices for one-bedroom units range from $479,900 to $839,900. Two-bedroom units range from 1,149 to 1,202 square feet. Prices for two-bedroom units range from $699,900 to $1,039,900. Condo fees range from $275 to $420 a month, depending on the size of the unit.

The NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue) neighborhood emerged after Metro added a Red Line stop (now known as the NoMa-Gallaudet U station) between Union Station and Rhode Island Avenue. Since then, the area has boomed.
“It’s very urban and in close proximity to all of what D.C. has to offer, including museums, shopping, dining and entertainment,” Estelle said.
