Lincoln Lots Project Goes Dark Print E-mail
Written by U Street Neighborhood Association   
ImageLocal real estate blog, DCmud, is reporting that plans for developing the rear surface parking lot behind the Lincoln Theatre, and the adjoining vacant lot have been shelved. 
 
DCmud reports:
"A planned sale and development of vacant lots at the Lincoln Theatre now appears to have gotten its curtain call. In a plot that would have bolstered finances for the struggling theater and added desired commercial development to the U Street neighborhood, the District had hoped to sell the vacant lots to developers. According to inside sources, those plans have now been shelved."
Original planning for the development of these lots began with community meetings in 2006 and plans continued.  In June 2007, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development presented an update to the U Street Neighborhood Association during the regular monthly meeting.
 
Initial concepts included below grade parking, aiding the functioning of the theater use, different upper story uses, and each hopefully can in some way help create a revenue stream for the theater.
