The Next Hot Spot
Fort Totten
Washington Business Journal
Ever been to the corner of Riggs Road and South Dakota Avenue NE?
If you have, it was probably in your car and you were waiting for the light to change. The intersection doesn’t look much like a place to linger, with a rundown strip mall to the north and train tracks overhead.
But the promise of Fort Totten is location. It’s mere minutes from downtown and Northwest — and steps from Catholic University and Providence Hospital.
The Fort Totten Metro station— on two Metro lines — is one of the last D.C. stops without development. Lowe Enterprises plans a 9-acre project with 800 residential units and 80,000 square feet of retail. Another developer has plans for 1,000 apartments.
That’s critical mass that should boost the surrounding middle-class neighborhood, a perennial underachiever, into a trendy enclave in upper Northeast.
Think of it as D.C.’s own little Clarendon. Brand new. On the Metro. And just waiting for a Cheesecake Factory.
