Nearly six months ago, UrbanTurf reported on the plans filed for a mixed-use redevelopment of Tenleytown's former Dancing Crab restaurant. Now, we are getting a more detailed look at the project.

As proposed, the planned-unit development at 4615 Wisconsin Avenue NW (map) and 4611 41st Street NW (map) will upzone the site from MU-4 to MU-5-B, allowing for a seven-story building with 41 apartments above a 4,971 square-foot restaurant. The project will also have a 1,259 square-foot rooftop bar and lounge alongside the roof deck.


There will also be outdoor patio space for the restaurant and a mural will be painted on the south façade of the building. The community has also negotiated for public co-working space to be included in the rooftop lounge.

The unit mix will include 21 studios (ranging from 285 to 474 square feet), 17 one-bedrooms (ranging from 385 to 558 square feet), and two 1,004 square-foot two-bedrooms. Both of the two-bedrooms will be inclusionary zoning units available to households earning up to 60 percent of median family income (MFI); an additional one-bedroom will be a 689 square-foot unit affordable to a household earning up to 50 percent MFI.
Bonstra|Haresign is the architect. The Zoning Commission is scheduled to consider the project on September 27th. Additional renderings are below.
