Bullish on Brookland

In 2010, UrbanTurf asked a group of bloggers, journalists, real estate agents and developers to share their thoughts on what "unsung" DC neighborhood would be 2015's hot spot. Two years later, they checked in with the group to see if they stood by thier 2010 picks.

Jim Abdo's pick: Brookland.  In 2010, he called Brookland, "one of the best-kept secrets in all of Washington."  Does he stand by it? 

Yes.  Mr. Abdo partnered with the Bozzuto Group to begin construction on a $75 million dollar project - Monroe Street Market.  His investment is a hefty endorsement of Brookland's future.  Adding retail and increased population density near the metro will add to the appeal of the suburban neighborhood.  Here's to 2015.
