It seems like the southwest corner of Brookland along the Metro tracks has been a hot-bed of development interest of late. About a month ago we ran down the list of development activities in that area and now there is one more to add to the list. We recently learned from this article on Bisnow that Jimmie Muscatello’s Washington Uniform Center at 900 Rhode Island Avenue NE was sold for $16M. From the article:

A developer buying the site for nearly four times its assessed value indicates it likely has plans to build more density on the property. Boundary Cos. did not respond to a request for comment on the deal. The parcel is zoned MU-6, allowing for a mix of uses with buildings up to 90 feet in height and a floor-area ratio of 6.0, with the potential to increase that to 7.2 if a project includes affordable housing or other benefits.

For those unaware, Jimmie Muscatello’s is pretty much the only place where police and transit workers can purchase their uniforms and they at one time supplied uniforms to the White House police. So, I am curious about how that service will be fulfilled going forward. We will keep our eyes on this development and let you know when we learn anything new.
