Our Plan for 5th & I



Our team wants to bring hotel rooms, retail, and residential housing to the city-owned vacant lot at 5th & I Streets NW. That basic outline isn't unique, but our final product will be:
  • The Arts Residences at 5th & I: Residences offering city views. 96 units
  • ME by Meliá: A four-star+ hotel with a young, international edge. 174 rooms
  • International Photography Space: A curated exhibition space incorporated into the hotel, exploring world themes in art photography
  • Café Cappuccino: A unique urban coffee house offering full-service breakfast and lunch for the neighborhood, with take away options and a pet-friendly sidewalk terrace
  • Boisdale of Washington: A London-based cultural dining experience and live jazz club featuring contemporary and historic jazz styles, a diverse menu and a renowned selection of scotch whiskies. A neighborhood destination, Boisdale will bring entertainment options to Mount Vernon Triangle while offsetting noise concerns by locating the jazz club below grade level. Estimated 150 seats
  • Parking: Underground parking with valet service
There's a lot more to tell - we'll be bringing you more updates over the coming days and weeks. Stop by the public presentation on Thursday to hear about what could be in store for 5th & I.
