This is going to be a nice addition to the neighborhood assuming they pull in some quality tenants.
Agreed. Looking forward to this one.
Loving this trend of Dyer asking for official word, even if they decline response!
Digging the building a lot. Much better than a lot of the other crap out there Dyer doesn't let us mention.
Now it's time to put a diagonal pedestrian crosswalk at that intersection. All 4 corners will have good retail.
"the other crap out there Dyer doesn't let us mention."
And if you do mention it, Dyer will SEND YOU TO THE CORNFIELD!
Are you referring to the Karr designs?
Or the Lauren perhaps?
Maybe Douglas is becoming the new Greenhill in terms of not doing anything big with old crappy buildings and just doing lipstick on a pig renovations?
Don't they own that old Relic building that is just sitting there?
They even sold their Cordell project to Toll Brothers.
5:13 you could be right. Doesn't Douglas own the one with Trader Joe's in it on Wisconsin? That's been under "renovation" for over 3 years now!
Who is the Douglas architect and contractor?
Yes definitely it shows Dyer is actually trying to find answers instead of just throwing out unverified rumors and opinions. Nice to see Robert Dyer maturing info a real journalist. Good job!
This would make a wonderful Trader Joe's.
I have to assume that TJ's will be fighting with Target to get their trucks in every night -- unless TJ's is walking.
TJ's has a good long lease, but customer parking and re-stocking the current location will be a daily nightmare.
Possibly, the landlord thought he could get a better, longer deal with Target and is letting TJ's walk.
This looks pretty interesting - nice to see some architectural variety. Has JBG announced any tenants? Has anyone said anything about what the little public/green space might look like between this JBG building, FRIT's building, and the new Carr building? It will be nice to see the end result!
Jason, when I asked JBG, they declined to comment on tenants. All indications to me suggest there is one or more tenants, and that it is not being built on spec to be put up for lease.
It does seem like between Carr and JBG there is now a lot more momentum to get something done with that space. The other long-term wild card will be what FRIT plans to replace that building (Bethesda Row Cinema, etc.) with in 11 years when the leases are up. Will they work with a space that is already finished by Carr and JBG, or will they be part of designing it with their future redevelopment in mind?
It certainly would be nice to get something cohesive in that middle spot with the three property owners.
When is the JBG office building starting next door?
