The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development issued on February 13, 2006, a Solicitation of Offers for the redevelopment of the historic Howard Theatre, located at 620 T Street, NW in the heart of the Cardozo/Shaw and LeDroit Park neighborhoods. Submission deadline is 5 pm Thursday, April 13, 2005.
Built in 1910, the Howard Theatre was a prominent performing arts center in one of Washington, DC’s African-American neighborhoods and entertainment districts. The theatre closed in the 1970s. Today, the Howard Theatre is remembered as a “music house” and an important home to legendary accomplishments by many acclaimed African-American musical artists whose impact was worldwide.
The District’s vision is to reposition the Howard Theatre as not only an icon of past achievements, but also as a competitive, self-sufficient and contemporary venue for launching future generations of musical and cultural talent and for showcasing today’s most celebrated artists. The District envisions the property as a mixed-use entertainment facility that will foster economic vitality in the area that once was known as “Black Broadway.”
The Solicitation of Offers is available in the Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 317 and by selecting this link.
