Dupont Circle
1250 Connecticut Avenue, NW at N Street
That was fast. My tears have not yet dried after learning of STK’s demise and our dreams of a California Pizza Kitchen revival are no more as well according to this BISNOW report (thanks to those who emailed links):
“City Tap House will open its second location in the 9,300 SF space on the corner of Connecticut and N Street NW, where STK moved just two and a half years ago.
City Tap House signed a 15-year lease, Brookfield’s Dave Bevirt tells Bisnow, and the restaurant will open this spring.”
Philly original, City Tap House opened their first DC location at 901 9th Street, NW in the former 901 Restaurant and Bar in late 2013. You can check out their Menus here. Updates as they get closer to opening.
This rental is located at 1 Scott Circle, Northwest. The listing says:
“Convenient and bright, west facing Jr. 1 bedroom in the heart of Dupont. Located 2 blocks from the 14th Street Corridor, enjoy shopping at Whole Foods, coffee at Starbucks and many of the hotest new restaurants in DC! Can come furnished!”
You can see more photos here.
This 1 bed/1 bath is going for $1,700/Mo.
1250 Connecticut Avenue, NW
Washingtonian reports:
“Two-and-a-half years after bare-midriff models in short skirts graced its red-carpet opening party, the DC location of “Not Your Daddy’s Steakhouse” STK is closing. Its last day will be December 17, a receptionist confirmed.”
Now can we bring back Californian Pizza Kitchen? No offense to Casa Nonna of course. Actually an All Purpose Pizzeria would kill here!! Stay tuned.

From a press release:
“The American Geophysical Union (AGU) today announced formal approval from its Board of Directors to undertake a $41.7 million complete renovation of its 62,000-square-foot headquarters building, located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. AGU is aspiring to be the first organization in the District of Columbia to renovate an existing commercial building to achieve net zero goals.
AGU is an organization dedicated to advancing science and ensuring a sustainable future. Recognizing that the aging building and infrastructure would require a major renovation after 20 years of service, AGU seized upon an opportunity to lead by example. In addition to creating a welcoming and collaborative space for its members and the D.C. community that would facilitate the understanding of Earth and space science, the organization chose to design and engineer the modernization of the building to meet net zero goals. In so doing, AGU will be able to showcase real-world scientific advancement through innovative sustainable technology. The project is expected to be a model for reducing the carbon and environmental impacts of business operations in a cost-effective and replicable way. (more…)

Didn’t there used to be a movie theater here? Maybe they can bring it back but I’m hearing rumors of who may be coming…

From a press release:
“Rock Creek Property Group breaks ground this week on the restoration of the landmarked Codman Carriage House in Dupont Circle. Located at 1415 22nd Street, NW, the building sits at a prime connection point between two of DC’s most storied and established neighborhoods – Georgetown and Dupont Circle.
Architect Ogden Codman, Jr. originally designed the carriage house for his socialite cousin, Martha. Martha Codman spent the winters in the District in her nearby mansion. The location of the carriage house near the entrance to Rock Creek Park proved the perfect location for her stable. (more…)
