Newsworthy

A couple of recent articles have detailed our forward progress on 5th & I.

From DCMUD:
The Arts at 5th & I: Closer Than They Were

A great idea we're supporting is a temporary market on the 5th & I site.

From the Washington Business Journal:
Donohoe property waits for hotel, nails food
market


The concept is being led by the Mount Vernon CID, who also organized the recent "5 EYE" Asian Film Series, which we helped to underwrite.

Revenue Generator


As noted in the Triangle blog, the Deputy Mayor’s office has decided to allow a temporary parking lot use at 5th & I in order to produce short term revenue for the city. A parking lot RFP was issued for this site and 2-3 other government properties approximately one year ago. While the Arts team is not a part of this temporary use, we understand the city's need to search out new revenue sources. This provisional use won't interfere with our timeline, and we continue to work toward delivering MVT's next great landmark.
