The project includes the renovation and restoration of two existing buildings that will be joined to a new LEED-certifiedapartment building with ground floor retail space. The buildings, at 14th Street and Wallach Place just one blockfrom the U Street Metro station, will have 12,500 square feet of retail space. Residents should be able to move into the buildingin the fall of 2015.

D.C. ranks as a Top 10 Foodie City

Given the volume of new restaurants that open each week and the number of eateries in the city and its suburbs developed byTop Chef participants, its no surprise that D.C. made it onto the Top 10 Foodie City list byLivability.com.

how often families eat at locally owned restaurants

how much the average resident spends eating out

accessibility residents have to healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and quality meat
