red dirt alert!

The enormous hole in the ground at the corner of Jefferson Park Avenue and Valley Road is a sign of progress, according to Will Bynum, project manager at Kjellstrom & Lee. K&L, the contractor that brought you the tennis facility at the Boar’s Head Inn and an addition to the maternity-services wing at Martha Jefferson Hospital, is at work on a new apartment complex at 1600 Jefferson Park Ave. “Something like 34 units in three buildings were demolished at the site in August. We’re replacing it with one building, and 20 units,” says Bynum. “Each unit will have four bedrooms.” Bynum also said that the building should be ready for occupancy next fall.
