From J Crew:
“We’re currently a TBD on timing of this store opening based on our construction team and working on schedules etc. but it still looks like sometime in 2016. This could of course change. That being said, it will be men’s only product, with some exciting partnerships featured.”
This was the location of a “Questionable Death” at an underground gay sex club back in 2009. Quite a transformation.
A reader reports just after 3pm:
“Trying to walk to Whole Foods just now and President Obama is holding a town hall in Studio Theatre. Security is tight. 14th St is closed to traffic btwn RI Ave and R St. as well as P St from 15th to Logan circle. Pedestrian traffic also curbed.”

Da Hong Pao appears to be the real deal – anyone stop in yet? What’s the good word? How does it compare to some of the great Dim Sum spots in Maryland?

Another mystery solved! Been getting tons of emails/tweets about the scene outside Studio Theatre, like this one from Jennifer Darland:
“what’s being filmed at Studio Theatre on 14th? Trucks have been there for two days”
Nolan DiFrancesco with the answer:
“Obama town hall on race is being broadcast from there tonight on ABC/ESPN“

From a press release:
“SIGAL Construction Corporation has begun construction at the Elysium Logan at Rhode Island Avenue, NW. Once completed, the 52,500 SF new construction project will be an eight-story, 32-unit luxury condominium building which is replacing a vacant lot in the 14th Street Historic District.
Designed by PGN Architects and developed by Madison Investments, the urban infill project will feature a mix of 1, 2, and 2+ den units ranging from 550 SF to 2,400 SF with an average unit size of 1,200 SF, providing options for families and empty-nesters looking to downsize. Three penthouse units will feature large livable penthouse levels with private outdoor decks accessed by stairs and seven units will feature private elevator access.
Ground floor units will be slightly elevated from grade, and the entrance steps to the building will extend into the public space on the street creating a stoop echoing the townhouse design aesthetic of the neighborhood. The building will also feature balconies for units facing the alley and a green roof. The below-grade facility primarily will be for bike storage and parking.
The project is slated for completion in Summer 2017.”
