New CityDC

Arboretum

There has been little news of late on Douglas Development's long-rumored Ivy City development. New CityDC encompasses the majority of 16 acres between New York and Montana Avenues of Bladensburg Road NE. The development is expected to deliver nine buildings that would include a 150,000 square-foot grocery store, residential units, 210 hotel rooms, 45,600 square feet of office space, and another 149,740 square feet of retail. Twenty percent of the residential units would be affordable: 25% for households earning up to 50% of MFI and the remainder for households earning up to 80% of MFI. While there has been no movement on that concept, Douglas in 2024 told a local ANC that it is moving forward with the warehouse plan now, but watching markets to see when it makes sense to move forward with the rest of the project.
