New office and retail building planned for Chinatown

In Chinatown, there are plans to construct a new retail and office building at 615 H Street NW. According to the Board of Zoning Adjustment application, the developer will preserve the existing three-story building on the site that is currently used as a restaurant and parking lot.

If approved, the ground floor of the new building will be used for retail and the first floor will be used for either office or retail. Topping the first floor will be eight stories of office space. There will also be 43 parking spaces in a three-story, below-grade garage.
