A few weeks ago a reader wrote in about the Roti coming to Union Station. It will be on the west side of the main floor across from Potbelly. Passing through this past weekend I also saw the retail space where the Yo Sushi will be coming. It’ll be right next to the Roti on the main floor closest to the western entrance in the former comic book store space. Like Roti, Yo Sushi will also take two retail spaces. You can see their menu here.


This pop up is located at 905 2nd St, NE:

The listing says:

“Just completed, never occupied turn-key investment. Each of the 3 2bed/2bath units are desirable. Unit 3 has private roof deck with great views of the capitol. Check rents at senate square and you will find the numbers work great. Watch the trains arrive as rent rolls in. A sophisticated play for owner occupant as well.”

You can see some photos here.

What do you think of the pop up? It’s yours for $1,600,000.


From a NoMa press release:

West Wing Café has leased the retail space in 1100 First Street, NE and plans a spring opening; the restaurant will have weekend and evening hours, and create an evening lounge serving wine, beer and sake.

West Wing Café will offer sushi, panini and high-end deli fare during the day, then transition into an evening lounge. “They want to create the sort of ambiance that will attract residents to come and linger,” Boehm said. West Wing Café will be open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.; they leased the entire retail space of 4,400 SF.
