PENTHOUSE DUPLEX
WOMEN’S HEALTHCARE
Two months after the priciest condo ever to be listed in DC hit the market, another Georgetown condominium is nipping at its heels. The penthouse duplex at the Residences at Harbourside hit the market last week with a $12 million price tag, making it the second most expensive condo to be listed in the city. The condo is listed with Terri Robinson of Long & Foster. The focal point of the 6,000 square-foot four-bedroom condo may be the 3,400 square-foot terrace that offers a private pool and views of the Potomac River, Kennedy Center, Washington Monument. Each floor of the condo opens on to the spacious terrace. The unit’s private elevator enters into a large entry hall and beyond that the living space really begins to spread out with a living room, large dining room, chef’s kitchen and pantry and library. The second level includes in-unit amenities such as a sauna, spa and exercise room. (Urban Turf)
There’s a new spot on U Street that wants to redefine women’s healthcare. Liv is a comprehensive medical practice for women that combines obstetrics, gynecology, primary care, and mental wellness all under one roof. It’s the brainchild of Advantia Health, an Arlington medical group that uses technology to help streamline the women’s healthcare experience. While the group has acquired and operates a series of practices throughout the country, Liv is its first flagship location built from the ground up. It’s also its first location to incorporate a bevy of medical services under one roof. (Washingtonian)

ENERGY USAGE All the Zooming, Slacking and online shopping that people are doing during the pandemic is having a big impact on the Northern Virginia suburbs. That’s because an estimated 70% of the world’s internet traffic runs through roughly 70 data centers based in Loudoun County, Virginia — and 2020 was a boom year for, well, everything internet. According to commercial real estate firm JLL, companies snapped up more than 320 megawatts of juice at Northern Virginia data centers in 2020, enough to power between 23 and 40 homes for an entire year. (Data center use is typically measured in energy consumption instead of square footage.) That’s more than twice the inventory users demanded in 2019. Most of that demand came from a handful of social media companies — Barnett declines to say which ones — though he says teleworking also played a big role. (dcist)
