Updates

March 7, 2006

Message from Ernie Marcus of Park Triangle Apartments:

The current done deals are as follows:

Citibank

0xxo Cleaners

Pollo Campero with outdoor seating

T-Mobile

Allstate

Federal Credit Union

Possible deals:

Bedding store

Hair Salon

Hoped for/Early discussions underway:

Neighborhood type restaurant with outdoor seating or Coffee House.

On last point, I welcome specific ideas and lobbying. We have a 2,400 sq.ft. space that we are holding out for such use. We are talking up the space but there is still resistance to the neighborhood from restaurant people who think it's still too early. We don't agree.

February 10, 2006

Initial occupancy is scheduled for March 2006 (subject to change). The property and a model apartment unit will be ready to be shown mid-late February.

Nice article on Park Triangle. A bakery sounds like a good addition:

Seems like the Bank is Citibank. It is encouraging to see that Park Triangle has been fairly succesfull in attracting retailers. The bakery is fab news, and I keep dreaming of another non-chain nice restaurant.. lol..

Outdoor seating?

Wasn't the plan/hope to have places with outdoor seating in the triangle-shaped courtyard? It was so beautiful out this weekend that it seemed such a shame to walk by there and only see gravel. A park-like area with grass would be okay too if they can't recruit eateries to set up outdoor seating. But I don't get the gravel. Why not usable space that adds value to the neighborhood?

The currently gravel covered are is part of the Civic Plaza plan that is to cover the whole intersection. I doubt they will start working on it before the DCUSA construction is closer to completion. In the meanwhile The Heights will have outdoor seating and will open later this summer! :)
