About ART Place at Fort Totten (Phase II)
Washington, DC
Construction of mixed-use building consisting of totaling 270 multifamily units, a children’s museum (30,000 sq. ft.), a family entertainment zone (170,000 sq. ft.), a grocery store (24,000 sq. ft.), 30 units of artist housing/workspace, additional retail and 930 parking spaces at 5300 South Dakota Avenue Northeast.
In August 2021, updated plans were presented for the project after the loss of the Meow Wolf lease. Changes in the new plans included...
- The north residential tower has been extended (to include Lot 1 in Square 3767) to allow 23 additional residential units to be added to the building.
-The proposed dog park has been relocated to the corner of former 4th Street and Kennedy Street.
- Internal modifications that result in modified square footage for the various uses are proposed, with the overall square footage of commercial use reduced by 33,500 sf (approximately 13%).
- Reduction in the number of parking spaces from 717 to 494, and related reduction in the area needed for excavation.
- Reduction in height of the drum by approximately 22 feet, 6 inches and removal of the “fort” at the corner of Ingraham Street and 4th Street.
- Addition of a terrace level above the retail uses along South Dakota Avenue.
Phase 2 is scheduled to open in 2025.
