RSS Feed600 Mass Ave NW Development Plans (Office + Retail)
Continuing our series on new neighborhood developments, we present the 600 Mass Ave NW development by Gould Property.
Summary of development: ~375,000 sq feet of office and first floor retail, 3 levels of underground parking plus a “concourse” level. Development includes demolition of one building (already completed) and the relocation of 2 row houses. The row houses to be relocated are just being moved a few feet, joining the existing row houses that are not part of the development.
Other than razing the one building, this development replaces only surface parking lots.
3 to 4 spaces for retail.
One anonymous commenter asked during the last few 600 Mass postings about the height of this development compared to the 6th & I synagogue. Here’s your answer:

Bar Louie…Updated Opening Date
A GP Living reader wrote in to say that the Bar Louie in Gallery Place is now targeting a June 10 opening date. We’ve covered the Bar Louie saga since June of last year. Looks like we’ll all have to wait just a bit longer for those artfully created jumbo martinis.
Now: Potbelly’s – Then: Dean & Deluca (pic)
The old Dean & Deluca in the Warner Building at 1299 Penn Ave (it’s actually at 13th and E Street, a block removed from Penn Ave) is now a Potbelly Sandwich Works. We checked it out and found the same sandwiches you always expect from the midwest chain with a moderate amount of seating in this basement eatery. Of note, Potbelly’s is also introducing a salad line for lunch and dinner as an alternative to their sandwiches.

Update: For some reason comments weren’t enabled by default on this post – we’ve corrected the issue!
We recently strolled on over to the Historic Preservation Office to do a little research on new developments in the area. Here is a snapshot of the plans from the new Walnut Street Development 443-459 Eye Street NW development.
The summary is that it is a purely residential development with no retail and no offices. We estimate the number of residential units to be 125. There will be approximately 36 parking spaces. Ground breaking is expected in 2007, with sales/leasing beginning in spring of 2009.
Mount Vernon Triangle is set to become one of the densest residential areas of Washington DC!
