After putting a large-scale Capitol Riverfront development site under contract this spring, Greystar is beginning to reveal its plans.

The developer filed an application with the Board of Zoning Adjustments that calls for three buildings on the 10.8-acre site at New Jersey Avenue SE and I Street, UrbanTurf reports.

It also says the developer plans to build two residential buildings on the eastern portion that fall within the site's existing zoning, which allows for buildings up to 130 feet.
