Entrepreneurs & Restaurateurs Tour New York Ave NE & Rhode Island Ave NE
On April 17th, the WDCEP was joined by DC government officials, brokers, property owners, entrepreneurs and service providers for a tour of retail and restaurant opportunities along the major commercial corridors of Ward 5 – New York Avenue NE and Rhode Island Avenue NE. The site tour is the third in a series hosted by the WDCEP in partnership with the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development.
The tour featured development projects and highlighted lease-ready spaces along the corridors, with brokers and developers on-board to provide detailed information about the properties. A few of the featured projects included:
