Here is your daily D.C. permit update, showing a handful of noteworthy permits
issued Oct. 26 by the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs. It`s a
good bet there will be no update Tuesday, or possibly Wednesday because the
District government is closed (like everything else) as Hurricane Sandy approaches.

On to the permit news. Be safe.
 
33 New York Ave. NE: Goodbye Mirrors. JBG
Rosenfeld Retail was issued a permit to raze the two-story NoMa club, a
necessary step toward the construction of its 190-room Hyatt Place hotel. Hyatt
Place is part of The JBG Co.`s multiphase Capitol Square project, which will
ultimately contain 2 million square feet of office, residential, hotel and
retail space.

1800 L St. NW: Nordstrom Rack is on its way. An alteration permit was issued for
renovations to the former Border`s location at 18th and L streets. The store
will sell men`s and women`s clothing, shoes and accessories.

2200 Wisconsin Ave. NW: Sweetgreen is coming, and coming soon, to the former
BodySmith Training Gym in Glover Park. The permit calls for interior renovation
at ground level in preparation for a new restaurant. Interesting that the
permit states, ``Convert laboratory to restaurant.``

2015 Massachusetts Ave. NW: Looks like The Embassy Row Hotel is cutting back on its
larger rooms. According to an alteration permit, the hotel will convert seven
two-bay suites on the second through eighth floors into 14 individual guest
rooms, raising the number of rooms hotelwide from 224 to 231. There will be no
corresponding increase in parking spaces.
