What's Hot: Offices, Housing, Hotels? Plan B Floated For Remaining Parcels At DC's Reservoir District
The Geneva
Dupont Circle
In November 2025, Post Brothers secured financing to move forward with construction plans to convert the Universal buildings into a sprawling residential development. The conversion will result in a 120-foot tall project with a new facade and 26,000-square-feet of retail space on its ground floor. The development will include inclusionary zoning units and will likely include family-sized residences. The two-story theatre building along Florida Avenue will be removed to make room for a redesigned entrance for the new development. Delivery is scheduled for summer 2027.
