Washington Cash and Carry Leaving 1270 4th Street in Preparation for Major Redevelopment

Signage is up for the relocation of the Washington Cash and Carry in Union Market (1270 4th Street, NE–the very large building just south of Masseria on 4th Street, NE).  It was announced awhile ago that the Cash and Carry would be relocating to Landover, Maryland to make way for a complete redevelopment of the block.  A large residential building called the Shapiro and a major retail space managed by Edens (which owns Union Market) are planned.  According to the Washington Business Journal, celebrity chef Jose Garces will be opening a large market as part of the building.

We’re a couple of days late to this, but initial signage has gone up for the Starbucks that will be coming soon to the new apartment building at 625 H Street (there is an Unleashed by Petco coming to the same building).  Based upon the construction, it is probably safe to say that Starbucks will open this spring at some point.

Exterior Construction at Future Apollo Building on H Street

DC Eater has the story that 14th Street based Wydown Coffee will be opening a second location on H Street later this year in the Apollo building where Whole Foods is opening.  According to the Eater article, the coffee shop will have a different name but similar items to the 14th Street shop.  When it opens up, this coffee shop will be right across the street from the Starbucks that is going in the apartment building across the street.

This addition will add another coffee option to H Street that is further to the east than either Uni Bistro or Sidamo.
