More than a decade after Target opened its first DC location in Columbia Heights, four additional outposts of the retail outlet are in the pipeline. Below, UrbanTurf takes a look at where those new locations are headed.

Shepherd Park

After plans for a 215-unit, Harris Teeter-anchored development fell victim to appeal-related delays, Douglas Development signed Target on to bring a small-format location to Georgia and Eastern Avenues NW (map). The 30,000 square-foot store is expected to open in April.

Tenleytown

News broke last week that Target had signed a lease to occupy the former Best Buy space above the Tenleytown Metro station at 4500 Wisconsin Avenue NW (map). The 46,000 square-foot location is expected to open next year.

Cleveland Park

Over in the historic Sam’s Park and Shop shopping center at Connecticut Avenue and Porter Street NW (map), Target is opening a 24,700 square-foot outpost, partially replacing a Petco. This location will include a CVS pharmacy and is also expected to open in April.

Ivy City

Douglas Development is also on track to bring a Target-anchored retail project to the nearly two-acre site at 16th Street and New York Avenue NE (map). Target will take up 67,106 square feet of ground-floor space and will be surrounded by up to four additional retailers. The location, expected to open next fall, will sell beer and wine and will also have both a Starbucks and a CVS pharmacy.
