Ground-Floor Retail in Mixed-Use Buildings
Our DC listings include ground-floor retail in mixed-use buildings. Bryant Street and The Magenta combine retail and residential uses. Solstice has apartments above the retail, and The Bridge has apartments above its storefronts. We lease these spaces for developers and owners, and look for tenants that fit both the building and the neighborhood.
What's Driving DC Retail in 2026
DC released its Retail Strategic Plan on May 18, 2026. The Mayor's announcement cites nearly 700,000 residents, 743,000 jobs and more than 27 million visitors a year, an estimated $14 billion spending base. The plan finds that corridors anchored by residents are outperforming areas that depend on office workers. It identifies growth potential in food and beverage, fitness and wellness, pet supplies and services, and entertainment, and it recommends streamlining permitting and licensing. For your search, we compare the residents and office workers near each space, current asking rents and what's available, and we'll pull recent comparable leases for the blocks you're considering.
