4600 Wisconsin Avenue, NW at Brandywine

“Dear PoPville,

They’re ripping down some long abandoned buildings on the corner of Brandywine and Wisconsin! Do you happen or can you find out what (if anything) is going to be put there???”

This is the former Babe’s Billiards space. It is going to become Tenley View from Douglas Development:

“Tenley View is the most exciting mixed-used apartment project to hit Washington DC’s Tenleytown neighborhood in years. Located at the bustling intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and Brandywine Street, the new building will include a modern, mid-rise atop the former Babe’s Billiards building. The property will feature over 19,000 square feet of retail on the lower two levels and five levels of apartment units. This project was the first new construction residential development in the District of Columbia to receive approval to be built without any parking at all. The new building will be marketed to residents who rely on the close proximity to Metro service just one block away.

Facts

68,500 rentable square feet (18,783 sf retail; 49,717 sf residential)
Historic building built 1949; Acquired 2009; Redevelopment 2013-2014
Seven-story building
60 rental apartment units
Metro Access: One block from Tenleytown (Red Line)”
