Well, this is arguable one of the most insane pop ups in the city. And it can be yours for $699,000. The area is actually up and coming but what do you think this pop up can/will actually go for? And what’s the best case scenario here – someone purchases the building and removes the pop up? Is that even possible or in any way likely? It’s interesting to note that the photos give no indication of the giant pop up…

Update on Building at 3rd and P St, NW Plus Ozio Getting a Roof Deck

By Prince Of Petworth

Back in Dec. ’09 we heard that the renovated building at the corner of 3rd and P St, NW in Truxton Circle was going to become a wine store and/or market. The building looks great though it still sits vacant. I did notice a for lease sign has gone up. The owner has always intended to lease the downstairs space out to another business. Anyone heard any rumors of movement either on the wine store or other tenants looking at the downstairs space?

And Ozio located at 1813 M St, NW is looking to open a roof deck. From an alcohol application permit:

“LICENSEE REQUESTS THE FOLLOWING SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE TO THE NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

New Roof top Summer Garden. Occupancy load is 110.”

“We bought it at the peak of the market and are actually listing it at a slight loss, so I think it’s a really good deal especially for design types who like open floorplans and emphasis on a nice kitchen. Open House is on Sunday (May 16) from 1-5pm”

What do you guys think – does $565,000 sound reasonable?
