Abdo Brookland / Catholic University

Brookland

Abdo Development will be building a 1 million sq. ft. mixed-use development adjacent to the Brookland Metro and south across Michigan Avenue from Catholic University. The overall development plan for South Campus calls for a mixed-use village that will expand Brookland’s 12th Street retail corridor and create a college main street experience. The spine of the development will run along Monroe Street, between Michigan Avenue and 8th Street. Ground floor retail, totaling over 80,000 sq. ft., will flank both sides of Monroe with residential apartments above. A $75 million joint investment fund of Bozzuto-Pritzker made an undisclosed equity stake in the project in the summer of 2010. The retail will include a mix of neighborhood-serving small, eclectic shops and restaurants. The project will also include 45 townhomes.
