3. The District of Columbia has been experiencing an urban
renewal for the past 16 years, with billions of dollars in new
investments in its downtown, neighborhoods and along
its waterfront. These developments along with new retail,
restaurants and entertainment options have resulted in
billions of public and private sector investment.
Over the past three years DC’s population has increased by more than 40,000 people. Fueling
this growth has been young professionals who are attracted to DC’s revitalized neighborhoods,
unique retail and restaurant offerings, strong economy and various transportation options. With
Metrorail, DC Circulator, Zipcar, Metro bus and the expanding Capital Bikeshare program many
residents do not need to own a car and thus have more disposable income.

as Capitol Riverfront, Mount Vernon Triangle and NoMa have transitioned from emerging
to established mixed-use districts. Corridors such as 7th and F Streets in Downtown DC,
14th & U Streets/MidCity as well as H Street, NE are re-establishing their historical status
as shopping and entertainment destinations. And with the commitments of anchor tenants
such as Costco and Walmart, projects such as the Shops at Dakota Crossing, Skyland
Town Center and Capitol Gateway Marketplace will create additional opportunities for
restaurants and local retailers.

Great Streets Initiative
The Great Streets Initiative is a multi-year and multiple agency effort to transform under-invested corridors into thriving
and inviting neighborhood centers using public actions and resources, as needed, to leverage private investment in
retail, housing, offices and cultural facilities. As of spring 2013 the Initiative has awarded more than $17 million to small
businesses and retail developers and has spent approximately $75 million of local dollars on streetscape improvements
to beautify public space and to expand transportation options. For retail development, the Great Streets Initiative
continues to award grants, loans, and Tax Increment Financing along the nine Great Streets corridors.

One City One Hire
One City One Hire is an employer-driven hiring initiative with the goal of putting District residents back to work. The

screening processes for potential hires as well as tax incentives and wage subsidies. Additional DOES programs, services
and tax-based employer incentives include the following:
On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program | Apprenticeship Program | Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) |
Project Empowerment (PE) | Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) |
Virtual DC Works! Career Center System

MidCity, named one of APA’s Great Places in America, is at the
center of Washington’s renaissance. Young professionals come
to 14th and U Streets to experience the vibrancy of urban living
and enjoy the diverse and growing dining, retail, residential,
entertainment and cultural offerings.
The MidCity experience is all about energy and vitality, experienced by thousands daily in its
coffee shops, restaurants, boutique retailers, fitness centers and professional services. It is one
of the District’s premier walkable neighborhoods, offering superb proximity to great retail like
Whole Foods Market, Ted’s Bulletin, Matchbox, Busboys & Poets and in 2014 a Trader Joe’s
grocery store along with world-class entertainment in theaters and clubs. A home furnishings
niche has also been burgeoning along 14th Street with establishments like Vastu, Muleh and the
recent opening of a 36,000-square-foot Room & Board in 2010.
MidCity has also become home to a significant creative sector, with U Street hailed as one of
‘‘America’s Most Animated Arts Places” by ArtPlace. In addition to the neighborhood’s galleries,
cultural anchors include theatres like the Lincoln, Source, and Studio, the African American Civil
War Memorial and Museum, the Duke Ellington Mural, the Mary McLeod Bethune House, the
Thurgood Marshall Center for Service & Heritage and Cultural Tourism DC’s visitor center.
MidCity is comprised of the 14th and U Street corridors, located near the established
neighborhoods of Logan Circle, Dupont Circle, Shaw, Columbia Heights, LeDroit Park and
Adams Morgan. The density and demographics of this neighborhood and its environs have led
to 4,272 new and refurbished loft apartments and condominiums as well as over 150 new retail
businesses opening their doors since 2001.

12. /50Washington, DC Economic Partnership DC Neighborhood Profiles 2013
Located near the banks of the Anacostia River, this historic
neighborhood is enjoying a renaissance with a burgeoning small
businesses community, entrepreneurs and arts scene. Anacostia’s
commercial corridors are located in both HUB and Enterprise
Zones with excellent access provided by Metrorail, I-295, I-395
and the Suitland Parkway.
Investment in the arts has resulted in several new additions to Anacostia including the Honfleur
Art Gallery, The Gallery at Vivid Solutions and in 2013 the new home for the Anacostia Playhouse
which re-located from H Street, NE (formerly called the H Street Playhouse). These new amenities
combined with anchors such as the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum, American Poetry
Museum and Frederick Douglass National Historic Site create a distinctive arts and culture hub.
The Lumen8 Anacostia festival, a celebration of Anacostia’s arts and culture that debuted in 2012, serves
as a showcase of the neighborhood’s emergence on the regional arts scene, drawing over 100,000
visitors to the neighborhood during the two month exhibition. For all of these reasons, Anacostia was
named by Urban Turf DC as DC’s neighborhood with the “Most Improved Reputation” in 2012.
Anacostia’s commercial corridors have also experienced new investment with ARCH Development
Corporation opening two business incubators, The HIVE and The HIVE 2.0, the establishment of the
DC Department of Housing Community Development’s new headquarters, the 46-unit Grandview
Estates condominiums and the 114-unit Sheridan Station (Phase I). In addition, Four Points and Curtis
Development have plans to redevelop Riverview Plaza into a 1.6 million square foot mixed-use center.
These plans have already garnered interest from government contractors in need of space close to the
Saint Elizabeths Campus, which will be the new home for the 3,700-employee U.S. Coast Guard in 2013.

14. /50Washington, DC Economic Partnership DC Neighborhood Profiles 2013
Steeped in U.S. history, the 8th Street, SE corridor’s trade
area offers more than 30,000 employees by day and another
17,000 residents by night. Experience the diverse dining
and retail opportunities in one of the most prominent of the
thriving Capitol Hill neighborhoods.
This 2005 Great American Main Street Award winner is the oldest commercial corridor in
Washington. Between 1999 and 2003 an $8.5 million streetscape investment turned Barracks
Row into a pedestrian friendly and ecologically urban corridor that blends perfectly with the
professional, yet progressive Capitol Hill neighborhood it serves.
Close in proximity to the Washington Navy Yard and the United States Marine Corps Barracks,
for which it is named, the corridor serves the federal workforce by day and then unwinds
evenings and weekends in the company of residents and fun-seeking visitors. The Historic
Eastern Market, a regional tourist destination located just across Pennsylvania Avenue,
enhances retail and restaurant traffic.
Within the shadow of the Capitol Dome and with transportation options such as the DC
Circulator route that connects to Union Station (Red Line), Eastern Market Metrorail Station
(Orange/Blue Lines), Navy Yard Metrorail Station (Green Line) and two Capital Bikeshare
stations, Barracks Row is easily accessible by DC residents and day visitors.

One of four New Communities Initiatives, the Barry Farm rede-
velopment program will replace low income residential units
one-for-one, add as many at 900 market rate units and as much
as 30,000 square feet of retail.
Its 26 acres is generally bound by Suitland Parkway to the north, Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue
to the east, Firth Sterling Avenue to the west, and Saint Elizabeth’s West Campus to the south.
Although the neighborhood has been generally isolated for years, new redevelopment plans
signal the community’s rebirth and will be further bolstered by nearby development activity at
Saint Elizabeths as well as the ongoing revitalization of downtown Anacostia.
Just across Suitland Parkway from Barry Farm, WC Smith has already delivered 136 new residential
units as part of Phase I and a portion of Phase II of the 344-unit Sheridan Station development.
In addition, Matthews Memorial Terrace added 99 residential units to the immediate area in 2012
across Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE from Barry Farm. Furthermore, a new 22,000 square foot
Barry Farm Recreation Center will open in summer 2015.
Consistent with the New Communities Initiative, the goal of this redevelopment effort is to
transform the public housing development into a vibrant mixed-income, mixed-use community.
In this new community, residents will have access to high quality housing options, as well as the
supporting services necessary to help prepare residents to take advantage of new economic
opportunities.
Barry Farm’s name comes from the post-Civil War freedmen’s community begun in 1867 on
Juliana and David Barry’s farmland. Anacostia’s Barry Farm housing development arose during
World War II and will be undergoing a major makeover.

Bellevue is a residential neighborhood located in far Southwest
Washington. With new community investment coming to the area,
both Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue and South Capitol Street are on
the cusp of new economic development growth.
New development is also occurring in the immediate area, such as the new 22,500-square-foot
Bellevue Neighborhood Library that opened in 2012 and Danbury Station, which delivered 125
townhomes in 2007. Community of Hope is currently developing a 50,000-square-foot world-
class Health and Resource Center on Atlantic Street, SW for delivery at the end of 2013. Covenant
Baptist United Church of Christ is also developing a new senior citizen residential and wellness
center with over 30 rental units with an expected delivery in 2015. Future development will
also include Trinity Plaza, a mixed-use development consisting of 28 apartments, 6,000 square
feet of retail space and 12,000 square feet of office space and the redevelopment of the South
Capitol Street Shopping Center into a $108 million, 283,000-square-foot mixed-use project with
150 residential units, 36,000 square feet of retail space and 78,000 square feet of office space.
The CVS’ Regional Training Center, PNC Bank, Joint Base Anacostia Bolling (JBAB), the Naval
Research Laboratory, the Blue Plains wastewater treatment plant, the Metropolitan Police
Academy, Washington Firefighters Training Center, a federal Job Corps center, the Architect of
the Capitol’s Botanic Garden’s production facility and Specialty Hospital of Washington-Hadley
bring a solid daytime population to the area.
Numerous planning, transportation and design studies have been completed over the past several
years and recent projects have begun to implement interim improvements as well as important
elements of an overall vision. Plans for extensive streetscape improvements are underway and
several blighted properties have been acquired.

20. /50Washington, DC Economic Partnership DC Neighborhood Profiles 2012
With tree-lined streets, single-family residences, a new town
center under construction and proximity to the Brookland/CUA
Metrorail station, the neighborhood of Brookland offers tremen-
dous retail and restaurant opportunities close to the heart of the
nation’s capital.
Catholic University (CUA) along with Abdo Development and the Bozzuto Group are building
a new mixed-use development adjacent to the Metrorail station that is scheduled to deliver by
the end of 2013 and will consist of 720 housing units, 83,000 square feet of retail space, an Arts
Walk with studio space for artists and a clock tower that will anchor an active public square.
Other complementary projects in the neighborhood are Chancellors Row, a 237 single-family
home development built by EYA and 901 Monroe Street, a 213-unit apartment building with
13,000 square feet of retail space.
Brookland is also home to several tourist destinations and major employment centers. The
Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the largest Catholic Church in
the United States, forms the architectural heart of Brookland, while Catholic University, Trinity
University, the Howard University Divinity School and the Franciscan Monastery provide a
population in excess of 10,000 students, faculty and staff. In addition, nearby hospitals include
Washington Hospital Center, Children’s Hospital, the Hospital for Sick Children Pediatric Center,
the Veteran’s Administration Hospital and Providence Hospital.
Largely constructed during the Art Deco era, Brookland’s commercial district, 12th Street, NE,
is the neighborhood’s main street. Area students and residents come here for a wide range
of neighborhood goods and services, such as eateries, hardware stores and grocery stores,
including Yes! Organic Market.

24. /50Washington, DC Economic Partnership DC Neighborhood Profiles 2013
DC’s businesses and residents are shaping a new community
in one of the largest riverfront redevelopment projects in
the United States. Located just five blocks south of the U.S.
Capitol Building, the Front offers a riverfront setting with a
distinct maritime heritage, accessibility, unique parks and trails,
neighborhood support retail and proximity to Capitol Hill.
The Washington Nationals’ baseball stadium, the new U.S. Department of Transportation
headquarters and the expansion of the Washington Navy Yard are three of the catalysts for the
development of the Front. The Front has also seen its residential population grow to nearly
4,000 people and is estimated to surpass 5,000 in 2015. Additionally, restaurants and retail that
have opened or signed leases and will open soon include Kruba Thai and Sushi, Potbelly, the
Park Tavern at Canal Park, Gordon Biersch, Harris Teeter, Bluejacket brewery by Neighborhood
Restaurant Group, Buzz Bakery, Willie’s Brew Que, Osteria Morini, Agua 301, VIDA Fitness,
Bang Salon, and Aura Spa.
The Capitol Riverfront is a neighborhood with the density, mix of uses, and pedestrian scale
to ensure that amenities and shopping are within easy walking distance. Three new parks,
including Canal Park which features a seasonal ice skating rink, provide direct access to the
river, communal gathering places, and neighborhood recreation opportunities.
The Front is easily accessible with direct connection to the I-395 and I-295 interstate highway
system; Metrorail’s Green Line and Blue/Orange Lines; the Circulator Bus linking to Union
Station and the Red Line; two Capital Bikeshare stations; and is only a 10-minute drive from
Reagan National Airport.

26. /50Washington, DC Economic Partnership DC Neighborhood Profiles 2013
Central 14th Street is an emerging and charming mixed-use
corridor surrounded by well-kept row houses and single family
detached homes from Spring Road to Longfellow Street.
Encompassing the 16th Street Heights neighborhood, with Crestwood to the west, Petworth to
the east, Columbia Heights to the south and Brightwood to the north, there is opportunity to
increase the variety of offerings, both in food establishments and neighborhood serving offices
to meet the increasing market demand.
New public and private investments are already enlivening the corridor. At the north end,
Longfellow Flats is a high-end furnished condo rehab with 10,000 square feet of leased
ground floor retail space. In addition, a future restaurant is expected in the former Colorado
Cleaners storefront.
Between Buchanan and Decatur Streets recent streetscape improvements have created a more
pedestrian friendly environment and well-kept storefronts host a number of neighborhood-
serving retail businesses, including the vintage furniture store, Ruff Ready, who moved to 4722
14th Street, from the 14th and U Streets area, in 2011.
The commercial area between Spring Road and Shepherd Street is characterized by numerous
retail and food establishments. A former laundromat at the corner of 14th and Quincy Streets
will become a local pub called Lyman’s. This area also benefits from being directly adjacent to
Columbia Heights and receives significant foot traffic from residents and visitors.
The Central 14th Street Small Area Plan, approved by Council in 2012, provides continued
momentum and guidance for redevelopment opportunities, public and private investment, and
retail vitality.

Both high-end consumers and bargain hunters alike delight
in the Chevy Chase/Friendship Heights shopping experience.
With a median household income in the $115,000 range, the
neighborhood offers national, regional and local retailers a
wealth of opportunity.
Chevy Chase Pavilion and Mazza Gallerie are the retail anchors of the neighborhood and offer
over 440,000 square feet of retail, restaurants and entertainment. National retailer brands
range from Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Williams-Sonoma, to Nordstrom Rack, DSW
and many others that draw regional residents and visitors alike. Nationally known and local
restaurants, movie theaters and hotels complement the retail scene.
Chevy Chase Pavilion recently underwent a $32 million renovation, including the addition of a
three-story LED screen, and new tenants such as a three-story HM and RANGE by chef Bryan
Voltaggio will join anchors J. Crew, World Market and the Cheesecake Factory.
Situated on the DC/Maryland line, Chevy Chase/Friendship Heights is easily accessible
from Montgomery County, Maryland and other areas of the District via Metrorail’s Red Line.
Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenues are the main commercial corridors that link the area to
Georgetown, Downtown and other neighborhoods of DC.

Compelling history, unique cultural character and growing eco-
nomic opportunities make Chinatown one of DC’s hottest areas.
Anchored by the Verizon Center, Convention Center and Gallery
Place, Chinatown has emerged as a primary entertainment and
nightlife district.
As the heart of the Chinese American community within the DC region, Chinatown hosts
cultural festivals and events, such as the Chinese New Year’s parade, and boasts cultural
landmarks, such as the Chinatown Friendship Archway. It is also home to more than 30 Asian
themed businesses and several cultural institutions. This dynamic combination of culture and
economic opportunity has made Chinatown an attractive spot for new international Asian
restaurants and retailers such as Ping Pong Dim Sum and Yo! Sushi.
Chinatown is also home to several world-renowned cultural and tourist destinations such as
the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, Shakespeare Theatre, Smithsonian’s American Art
Museum, Woolly Mammoth Theater, Goethe-Institute and the National Building Museum.
Businesses located within Chinatown enjoy high growth potential with access to diverse
markets, including Downtown office workers, visitors and tourists and Asian Americans
throughout the region. In addition, the CityCenterDC development will add 515,000 square
feet of office space, 674 residential units and 184,700 square feet of retail space in late 2013.
This energy—combined with great access to public transit and major roads such as
Massachusetts Avenue, New York Avenue, and I-395—continues to make Chinatown attractive
to new and innovative businesses and residents.

32. /50Washington, DC Economic Partnership DC Neighborhood Profiles 2013
A mix of high-income families and professional singles calls
this urban oasis home. Others from around the region come
regularly for films in one of the District’s last great historic
movie houses, a visit to the National Zoo or dinner in one of
several dining establishments along Connecticut Avenue.
Cleveland Park’s location is ideal for professionals seeking a touch of tranquility. Just a stone’s
throw from the excitement of downtown, the neighborhood features beautifully restored
historic homes, condominiums and apartments situated on both sides of the bustling
Connecticut Avenue corridor. World famous Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo, which
border the neighborhood, create a green edge and respite from the urban buzz. Served by
Metrorail’s Red Line and several bus lines, the area is highly accessible by mass transit. The
neighborhood is also convenient to many of the District’s major thoroughfares.
Developed in the 1890s, Cleveland Park could be considered one of the earlier “suburbs” for
DC, although now squarely part of the central urban fabric. The neighborhood obtained its
name in the late 1880’s when President Grover Cleveland purchased a farmhouse in the area.
Cleveland Park is unique due to its significant collection of architect-designed late Victorian
frame houses reminiscent of New England summer homes.
Cleveland Park is a designated DC Historic District, which enables qualified property
owners of contributing commercial properties to access tax credits and other incentives to
rehabilitate their space. The Cleveland Park Historic District lies between Wisconsin Avenue
on the west, Connecticut Avenue on the east, Klingle Valley on the south, and Tilden Street
on the north.

34. /50Washington, DC Economic Partnership DC Neighborhood Profiles 2013
Alive with activity, Columbia Heights is one of DC’s most
diverse and urban neighborhoods. The catalysts fueling its
transformation are the addition of several major retailers, a
revived arts scene and exciting new residential projects.
More than 3,760 residential units have been built or undergone substantial renovations since
2001 in this exciting community. DC USA, a 500,000 square foot urban retail center anchored
by Target, Best Buy, Marshalls, Bed Bath Beyond and Washington Sports Club, is ushering
in a new crowd of residents, employers, retailers and tourists. In addition, the 270-seat GALA
Theatre and the Dance Institute of Washington form the cultural center of the neighborhood.
Columbia Heights is the densest neighborhood in DC, housing more than 34,000 residents
within a half-mile. The neighborhood’s urban character, walkability, amenities and new
residential construction have been drawing young professionals in their 20s and 30s to move
to this area. The neighborhood’s stability, access to public transportation and proximity to the
downtown core offer retailers a wealth of opportunities.
With the commercial heart of Columbia Heights approaching capacity, spin-off development
has occurred on 11th Street as a result of the increased demand for local, unique establishments.
Several independent restaurants, cafes and taverns such as Maple, The Coupe (open 24
hours), RedRocks, Room 11 and Meridian Pint have opened over the past few years.
The restoration of the Tivoli Theatre, the opening of a 53,000-square-foot Giant Food grocery
store and the development of residential and retail projects such as Kenyon Square and
Highland Park have all sparked new energy and excitement that Columbia Heights is ready
to share.

Hometothe350-acreSaintElizabethsEastandWestCampuses,
a new hospital and the District’s Unified Communications
Center, Congress Heights will be an epicenter for future
business opportunities.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s consolidation on the West Campus is the larg-
est federal project since the Pentagon. In Summer 2013, 3,700 U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
employees will start to arrive in their new 1.2 million square-foot headquarters and will be
looking for banking, restaurants, coffee shops and entertainment establishments.
The 178-acre East Campus will also be redeveloped into a mixed-use community. Initial
plans call for 1.5 million square feet of office space, 2,000 residential units, 340,000 square
feet of retail space, 400 hotel rooms as well as institutional, civic and education and uses.
At the center of the redevelopment efforts will be the District’s first Innovation Hub, which
will offer the opportunity for an integrated center of research, education, training, entre-
preneurship, technology transfer and commercialization.
Ancillary development is also occurring at the Congress Heights Metrorail station. City
Partners and Sanford Capital have plans to build a 275,000-square-foot office building with
20,000 square feet of retail space on top of the southern Metrorail entrance. In addition,
the Friendship Technology Preparatory Academy is building a new 80,000-square-foot fa-
cility at Milwaukee Place and Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE.
An early suburb, developed primarily in the 1940s, the neighborhood retains its breathtak-
ing vistas of the Capitol Dome and the entire city from its many leafy hilltops.

A neighborhood with small town sensibilities and big city am-
bitions, Deanwood is experiencing several neighborhood re-
vitalization programs. New housing, retail and office spaces
near the Minnesota Avenue Metrorail station are focusing new
investment in this corner of the District of Columbia.
Today, Nannie Helen Burroughs is becoming a focal point for a variety of new projects. The
Nannie Helen at 4800 will deliver a five-story, 70-unit apartment building with 1,790 square feet
of retail/restaurant space in fall 2013. In 2012, the $10 million Nannie Helen Burroughs Great
Streets Project was completed and features extensive infrastructure improvements, including
a reconfigured single lane roadway to allow for traffic calming, landscaped medians, bicycle
lanes and new sidewalks and street lighting. In addition, the redevelopment of the Strand
Theater is moving forward as Family Dollar has an LOI for the retail space.
Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue is a designated Great Street by the District government
and as funds become available existing small businesses and new businesses will have the
opportunity to apply for up to $85,000 in reimbursable grants for the purpose of capital
expenditures.
The newly completed Deanwood Strategic Plan, a Great Streets Initiative, provides an
implementation framework for public and private investments along Nannie Helen Burroughs,
Minnesota Avenue, Sheriff Road, Division Avenue and Dix Street. The Plan seeks to strengthen
Deanwood and encourage new mixed-use and mixed-income development in strategic
locations that attracts jobs and creates a safe and pedestrian-friendly environment over a
10-year horizon.

40. /50Washington, DC Economic Partnership DC Neighborhood Profiles 2013
Located between the White House and the Capitol, Down-
town offers a remarkable urban experience for workers, resi-
dents and visitors. The area is the commercial, cultural, din-
ing and entertainment center of the region and competes on
a national level in all these economic sectors.
Over the next five years, Downtown’s shopping district will grow to position Downtown retail
as a dynamic destination shopping district, growing from 630,000 to 730,000 square feet in
fall 2013 and 1.0 million square feet by the end of 2017. Furthermore, over the next 10 years,
the residential population is projected to increase by 20,000 to 30,000 within 15 blocks of
Downtown.
In the fall of 2013, Phase I of the $1 billion, 2.3 million-square-foot CityCenterDC project will
open, bringing a total of 185,000 square feet of retail to the center of Downtown. The retail
is projected to contain 100,000 square feet of shoppers goods and 85,000 square feet of
restaurants and food retail. This exciting seven acre mixed-use project will also offer 520,000
square feet of trophy office space (anchored by Covington Burling, LLP), 458 apartments,
216 condominiums and 2,040 parking spaces (750 dedicated for retail parking).
The explosion of 50 new destination restaurants in Downtown over the past 10 years include
numerous openings from the city’s and nation’s top chefs such as Jose Andres, Mike Isabella
and Michel Richard. This increase illustrates the consumer demand that is available to high
quality Downtown retailers and restaurants.
