Its still early day's, Historic Preservation (HPRB) and BZA need to approve, and the ANC needs to meet and discuss this with the community and developer (this is set for April's ANC6E meeting).
In the developer's (Gaithersburg Md. based 1612 Seventh Street NW LP) recent meeting with HPRB, the board made some recommendations, including setting back the additional floors (by 22 ft) and protection of the historic buildings in the lot. Getting past the BZA may also cause some issues as, for example, parking does not meet the BZA requirements (only 2 spaces provided by the developer, the BZA requires 16 spaces) a variance would be required and is by no means a given.

I am sure I will be back with updates on this story after the ANC meeting
