Development
Georgia and Upshur St, NW
I’ve getting a number of emails about the Murrell Building at 4201 Georgia Ave, NW:
“I saw folks working on the 1st floor of the Murrell Building on Upshur last night and was curious what the future held in store for the space. I think there was talk about the building on the PoP site a couple of years ago but haven’t found any more about what’s happening.”
In March we learned that owner of nearby Petworth Citizen, Upshur Street Books and Crane & Turtle (and of course Room 11), Paul Ruppert, planned on opening a diner here. Though details remain slim, CityPaper reported the name will be Slim’s Diner. And it looks like there’s an interesting interim use too. Thanks to @Petworthnewvie for tweeting us the info yesterday:
“@PoPville Murrell Building pop up art exhibit”
Huge report from NBC Washington:
“The new facility, which would be housed on city-owned land near the Shaw Metro station in Northwest, would cost between $30 million and $40 million and seat approximately 5,000. The exact location is at 11th and Rhode Island streets NW, currently the site of dog and skate parks.”
Updates as/if this progresses.
“Dear PoPville,
Any word on what’s going on here at the former bank at 14th and G?”
This is supposed to become the Armenian Genocide Museum. You can read a great history on the National Bank of Washington building on the corner here.
14th and G Street, NW from 2013
Big score for Mount Rainer!
From a press release:
“The Menkiti Group has been selected by the Redevelopment Authority of Prince George’s County, Maryland to redevelop the 3300 block of Rhode Island Avenue in the Mount Rainier Gateway Arts District. The three historic buildings comprising the 3300 block will be restored by the Menkiti Group and will consist of 12 residential units above 10,000 square feet of commercial space. The Menkiti Group has already obtained commitments from Annie’s Ace Hardware, famed restaurateur Joe Englert, and arts incubator ReCreative Spaces, to occupy the three commercial spaces fronting Rhode Island Avenue.

This across the street from CityMarket at O and the kittycorner from the newish Chaplin themed restaurant and bar. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out:
1200 block of T Street, NW
Ditto development is on a tear. These are the guys who renovated the Round House in Brookland and behind the Oslo project in Shaw. And they also have plans for a corner property a few doors down from this one at 11th and T St, NW. Updates on all as construction progresses.
1839 6th Street, NW
Lots more progress since we last checked back in July. A listing for one of the units says:
“Exquisite space accessed by private elevator in the unit. Huge great room–open LR/DR, chef kit, hw flrs, Bosch appli, quartz ctops, porch enclosed by rain screen. Two spacious BRs, with balconies, attached BAs, custom closets, w/d. Extra storage space. Wired for FIOS & SMART Homes. Steps to Metro, shops, nightlife. Off-St. Pking. Low fees.”
That 2 bed/2.5 bath is listed at $819,000.
@AlexMurray1 notes the “rear patios on the boutique condos going up behind Shaw’s Tavern”
Thanks to a reader for sending the update:
“Things are happening at Bacon Funeral Home! Here is a photo of the outside with new windows. Also looks like they’ve framed out the whole inside and laid down plumbing (not shown). They’ve had crews in there usually 6 days a week so it’s nice to finally see change on the site! Also looks like there might end up being some parking spots in the back once they’re done (think some commenters were wondering about this).”
