Back in July ’11 we first got word that Eataly was looking around for a DC space. I’m super psyched to hear this project is progressing. Per the Washington Post’s Jonathan O’Connell:
Since then, the search has quickly progressed, according to Michael R. Zacharia, senior vice president of retail services for CBRE, who is leading the search for Eataly in Washington. Zacharia said he has been looking for 60,000 square feet for Eataly and has narrowed the search to “three or four locations.” All the sites are in the District.
60,000 square feet!?!??! Awesome. I just had lunch at the NY Eataly’s roof top birreria last month. So freaking good!
