JBG Presents the "U Street Hotel" to CSNA

At the March 12, 2009 meeting of the Cardozo Shaw Neighborhood Association (CSNA), the JBG Companies provided an update and presentation on their proposed development project for a new "U Street Hotel" at the corner of 13th and U Street, NW.  The complete presentation is provided below (click 'Read more...')
 
The proposed project would replace the existing building at this corner, which houses Rite Aid, BB&T bank, Pizza Hut, and other businesses.  JBG is seeking to build an approximate four-star boutique hotel, which at a proposed 110-feet high, could include 250 guestrooms, 4,500 square feet of meeting space, and 25,000 square feet of retail.  At this time, Rite Aid and BB&T would remain tenants in the new building.
 
Questions were taken from CSNA members and others regarding concerns of the significant impact that this development would have on U Street and the surrounding neighborhood.  Community concerns include the appropriateness of the proposed height, traffic and parking management, alley access, and relationship of the building in context with the Greater U Street Historic District. Additional details on the questions/answers will be available in the March 2009 CSNA meeting minutes. Another write-up of the meeting is offered by DC real estate digest/blog, DC MUD.
 
JBG is seeking to develop this project through the District's "Planned Unit Development" (PUD) process, which requires public involvement.  JBG's tentative plans as of March 2009 is to submit a PUD application to the DC government in summer 2009.  Pending approvals, construction would begin in late 2011; with the hotel opening in 2014.

CSNA will collect information from the neighborhood, JBG, the DC government, and others, and make it available on the CSNA U Street Hotel project page: ustreethotel.csnadc.org .

The project is currently in the planning stages, and JBG Companies has committed to working with CSNA throughout the development of the project through CSNA's U Street Hotel Project Committee. 
 
There were a number of requests for JBG to provide additional information, renderings, and images to CSNA.  Once received, they will be posted here.
 
Additional images and renderings are provided in the presentation.
