Earlier this week @CityCenterDC tweeted the photo above:
“Look who popped up at #CityCenterDC today! Plan your @katespadeny purchases at http://www.katespade.com!”
And last week when we noted coming soon signage for Longchamp, a reader commented some interesting scuttlebutt about who else is coming:
“Hermes, Gucci, D&G, Tiffany&Co”
When walking to Chinatown last week I noticed that the old convention site is referred to by the Mayor as CityCentreDC. Who knows when this huge project will be built but whenever it does get built it’s gonna need a better name than CityCentreDC. It’s not quite Chinatown and not really Penn Quarter either. So what a great opportunity for us to name it. I know folks haven’t been happy with some recent new neighborhood names like NOMA.
So hopefully we can get something really good that will stick. Unless you like City Centre? Maybe some history buffs can nominate a name from back in the day? Any suggestions?
Some folks were asking yesterday what was going to happen to the big parking lot in the middle of downtown. I walked by and noticed that the developers had put a rendering of the site up. It seems it’ll be bustling.
You can find all the details of the deal on the City Center DC Web site.
