Ways to get to Giant today

On foot, enter through 8th Street entrance and experience walking back into history or through doors into cafe at 7th and O.

Or, if you are driving, you can park in retail entrance from 9th Street and park on grade and walk across 8th into store.

Or, you canpark on B1and take the elevator into the store's lobby.

I like to walk up the stairs and look up at the light wells.

CityMarket Makes the Post

Today's Washington Post features CityMarket at O and the transformation of Shaw and the central role that O Street Market has played in the neighborhood.  Roadside is grateful to be a part of the Shaw community.

See you tomorrow at the premiere opening of Giant at CityMarket.

Let you in on a little secret...Giant is opening early for shopping...come by at noon and avoid the crowds.

Oh, CityMarket at O

Bisnow feature article on hard hat tour led by Roadside partner Richard Lake is complete with  photos.  Giant is on pace to open in mid-November just in time for your turkey feast.  Let Giant's sommelier pick the right beer, wine, and champagne to accompany your Thanksgiving dinner.

Follow the progress as all of the pieces in the CityMarket at O puzzle come together.  The heart of the project is the central plant (cooling tower) located on the roof of the East Building.  "Amazing" is the word most used to describe it...

Getting closer every day

Dedicating the Hodge on7th

We dedicate the active senior building on 7th and P Streets, NW to Michael Hodge. Michael was a good friend of the Roadside Team and supporter of CityMarket at O.  He passed too early.  

Michael was a dedicated DC government employee who was extraordinarily passionate about the redevelopment of DC's neighborhoods and expansion of the cultural arts throughout the city. His fingerprints are on projects throughout the District of Columbia.

The Hodge will begin processing applications for tenants in mid-January and with a mid-April occupancy for the 90 one-bedroom units.  Applicants must be 55+.  For more information, call Susan Linsky, 202-375-7955 or email slinsky@roadsidellc.com.

  Honoring Hodge

  More than 100 people gathered on Aug. 21 to dedicate City Market at O’s Active Adult building, called Hodge on 7th, in honor of Michael Hodge, a D.C. development exec who almost single-handedly brought back municipal financing to the District. From left, Buwa Binitie of Dantes Partners, D.C.

Senior Housing @ O Reaches for the Top

Been by CityMarket at O lately?

The building going up on the southwest corner of 7th and P above the Giant is affordable housing for seniors 55+.  Dantes Partners and Roadside Development partnered to develop the 90 one bedroom units and construction began this past March.

We think the "cube" as we refer to the building that fronts on 7th is one of the most handsome buildings in the project with fabulous views to the north, e and south. The exterior was designed by Robert Sponseller of Shalom Baranes Associate, who is also the master planner and architect for CityMarket at O.

In other news from CityMarket at O (which is changing every day) see photos taken last week as well.  The Giant has begun its tenant build-out of the historic market building and plans to open in November 2013 (that is a bit more than 5 months away).  The Bozzuto leasing center is under construction at 9th and P.  Soon you will see more of the soulful dog and the yoga woman around the neighborhood.

O, O Celebrates Progress

Modern Luxury magazine catches the people who have worked on CityMarket at O celebrating the restoration of the historic O Street Market in "swank Shaw." the restored market with its 40 ft vaulted ceiling and stunning brickwork is awesome. Something else to celebrate, the march to completion of the Giant Food Store and the first rental units in November 2013 -- 6 months away.  Check recent pics below: The Windows of O The Platform Units look onto the Market.  Imagine the view. The West Block roof deck is loaded with amenities.   Giant Shoppers this is your entrance from 8th --see you in November. O, the mysterious woman of O -- what is her name?
