Top Five New Developments in the DMV

2020 has been a very rough year and we still have 3 full months left. For this blog entry, we wanted to talk about the DMV and its renewal through Development projects.

Here are the Five Best Development projects going on in DC right now.

1. Union Market- 13098 Fifth St N.E.

Union Market is a revitalization of 600k SF of marketplace property and mixed-use properties. The market is thriving, but still to come are a 42k SF Angelika Film Center and four additional stories of either office or residential space. In a later phase 2022, the area around the market will also include a 400k SF mixed-use building including retail, entertainment, office/residential space.

2. NewCityDC – the property is located at the intersections of NY Ave, Montana Ave & Bladensburg RD

The development will include 550k SF of retail, a 108-room hotel, 200 apartments, and a 2,800-space parking lot. The project is hoping to secure retail anchors such as Wegmans or Wal-Mart, with several smaller stores and over a dozen restaurants.
