We received word yesterday (h/t ANC Commissioner Tony Goodman) that a rum distillery and tasting room has applied for a construction permit near Union Market. It will be going in at 1330 5th Street, NE–directly east and a little north of the existing Union Market building. As noted by Commissioner Goodman, Edens, the firm that owns Union Market and that has purchased many of the surrounding buildings, owns this building.
More details as we get them. In the meantime, check out our series on the future of Union Market here and our map of future development here.
