What’s Up Next For The Red Sage Location?

For some reason I thought that Commerce Bank had said they were going to have a future location there, but now going to their website, it doesn’t say anything. Could be they changed their plans after they got taken over by TD, but could also be that I’m just losing it 😛

Good work so far Flipperman. I did a search of the Department of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs and found three building permit applications, the latest being August 8th of this year. All three were issued to David Fontana of Mckeever Services, here in DC. A review of the (April) zoning permit states: “Zoning Review Approved. restaurant conversion to office/ Commerce Bankin..”
In August there was another zoning permit approved “Zoning Review Approved. Rev. to BP#115894 to change elevation side wording and color for new bank branch.”
So, going out on a limb here, I’m with Flipperman in that it will be a bank.

The question becomes, will it be a solvent or insolvent bank?

What a shame, that is such a great space. Freakin’ Commerce Bank. Ugh.

This is downtown, a center of finance, it should probably have more businesses than restaurants. Red Sage wasn’t that good anyways.

Just want we need, ANOTHER bank.

Heard the same…another bank.

The Chowhound commenter had it slightly confused. The owners of Red Sage, and now just Zola, are opening an Italian restaurant at 15th and H streets in the Woodward building. With a bakery attached! The chef has been traveling through Italy for inspiration. Should be a big opening.
