Statement from John Goldman, owner of 3DG, LLC, concerning the residential/retail project on 3400 11th St NW (11th St NW and Park Rd NW):

My name is John Goldman and I own and operate 3DG.  We have every intention of presenting our development plans to the community in advance of the BZA hearing.  Our hearing date is currently scheduled for April 18th.

Please understand that our recent "radio silence" has been soley due to the fact that the development plans are in flux and we do not have anything definitive to present at this time.

Be assured that as active members of NCHCA and commercial residents in the neighborhood we are intune to the needs and demands of the local citizens.  We see 11th Street as an opporunity to provide local neighborhood-based commercial opportunities in a world-class, environmentally-friendly building.

Once the modifications are set and in place, we will present at the earliest possible moment.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best Regards,

John Goldman

Written by Jeff on 2006-10-10 13:54:05 This sounds like great news:  3DG Revises Plans for Prominent Columbia Heights Corner               Neighborhood Retail on 11th Street  WASHINGTON, DC - The District Design Development Group, LLC (3DG), a real estate, design and development company, recently announced its revised plans to transform their currently abandoned one-story, Bi-Rite store, located at 3400 11th Street, NW, into a combined 11,000 square-foot commercial only project in Columbia Heights. 3DG intends on preserving much of the original façade while expanding upward by one and a half stories. This announcement comes after 3DG originally planned a mixed-use development which would have additionally housed six high-end condominium units.    The new plan has been developed to reflect the changing residential real estate market demands in Washington, DC and as a result of on-going conversations with neighborhood residents and business owners. "The prominent street corner of 11th Street and Park Road will once again be brought to life with space for neighborhood retail, commercial, and small businesses," says CEO, John Goldman, "Our new plan will add much needed neighborhood amenities that will accommodate current residents and compliment the recent influx of new residential development."    All of the potential tenants being targeted are neighborhood oriented retailers that will bring convenience and comfort onto the under served 11th Street corridor. Amongst the intended retailers are restaurants that will provide roof decks and outdoor seating areas that will breathe life into the currently empty corner and promote a more pedestrian friendly atmosphere. These design changes are possible under the existing zoning regulations and will accelerate the delivery date of the project. 3DG will deliver a modern, world-class building demonstrating outstanding achievement in urban in-fill development.    3DG has contracted the professional commercial and retail leasing services of CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) to conduct the tenant scouting and lease negotiations processes. The CBRE brokers have represented hundreds of metropolitan Washington, DC area firms and developers, and specialize in the marketing and leasing of urban in-fill office and retail projects. Their assistance will help 3DG identify those retailers and service providers that best match the needs of the neighborhood.    Construction is slated to begin later this year, with an anticipated completion date of mid-2007.    For leasing and other information, please contact 3DG via its website at http://www.3dgllc.com or John Filipos with CB Richard Ellis at (202) 585-5535.     About 3DG  3DG delivers world-class architectural design, project administration, construction and real estate services to the Washington DC-area real estate market, as well as a limited number of high-end single-family and multi-unit dwellings designed and developed in-house. Employing a highly qualified team of award winning architects, LEED-accredited professionals, interior designers, construction management professionals, licensed real estate agents, and financial analysts, 3DG is able to provide a unique, holistic approach to development, project management, and property buying, leasing and selling.    For further information regarding any of 3DG's design, construction and development projects, please visit 3dgllc.com or contact us at or 202.291.3282.    For more details about 3DG's real estate services, please visit realestate.3dgllc.com or call John Goldman directly at 202-258-3529.
