3 spaces for lease at Wisconsin Place - and CBRE has 3 ideas to fill them (Photos)

Even urban mixed-use developments aren't immune to vacancies, as one can verify at the relatively new Wisconsin Place development in Friendship Heights.

Real estate firm CBRE has added window screens to 3 vacant storefronts there, and each one shows a potential use for each space - a restaurant, a salon, and a fashion boutique.

The Shops at Wisconsin Place is anchored by a Whole Foods Market, and is located at the Friendship Heights Metro station.

That's clever. I like it. Hope they get leased soon (and stay in business)

Reminds me of what was done in the windows of some of the abandoned buildings in NYC years ago--the ones that lined the roads that the commuters took to the suburbs. They put plywood in the windows, and painted them with curtains, flowerpots---they probably even threw in a few sleeping kitties----just so that the people in their cars did not have to look at burned out buildings on their way home....

That chocolatier place coming on Woodmont has a cute plywood painted facade too.

Or the Beijing Olympics where the fake walls portrayed happy pics and behind it were the slums.

I know. Just correlating multiple similar spaces. No slight intended if you thought mistakenly there might have been.

like a little kid who has to compare himself to his bigger brother for lack of self confidence.

10:01: Huh? What above does your comment relate to?

Always having to compare oneself to others indicates a lack of self confidence.

Dyer, you do good work! No need to compare to others. Your blog is very strong and has many fine qualities.
