In a sign that construction workers are continuing to find new jobs, the Washington Post reports that work will soon begin on a 433-unit apartment building near Nationals Park, in Washington, DC. A lot of projects popped up in the surrounding area, but the economic troubles of the past couple of years put a damper on most of them. Now, momentum is starting to pick up again.

According to the source, the $140-million project will take about two years to complete. With a Harris Teeter grocery store and several restaurants and bars in the surrounding area, it's sure to attract a number of curious people who may be looking for a new apartment.
