Monroe Street Market Retail

As construction continues at Monroe Street Market, neighborhood gossip swirls around the retail possibilities.  The first retail shell delivery will happen April of next year.

H&R Retail has put out the call for tenants.  The group is touting Brookland's strong incomes and high rates of home ownership, hoping to woo retail tenants.  H&R describes the project:

• Strategically located at the entrance to Catholic University of America and the Brookland – CUA metro station along Michigan Avenue, NE and Monroe Street, NE in Northeast Washington, DC. The site is bounded by Catholic University of America to the north, the Metro/CSX tracks to the east, Lawrence Street to the south and the Dominican House of Studies to the west.
• When completed, the five-block, mixed-use project will consist of approximately 718 multi-family residential units, 45 townhouses and over 80,000 square feet of retail along with 14,000 square feet of artists’ space and a 3,000 square foot community arts center. 
• Grocery box and street retail available
• Vehicular Access – traffic signals at Michigan Avenue, NE & Monroe Street NE, Michigan Avenue, NE & 7th Street, NE and Monroe Street, NE & 7th Street, NE
