2601 Virginia Ave NW, Washington, DC 20037

A rare 4,636 square foot prime retail space with an expansive patio is now available in the heart of DC’s West End, offering an exceptional opportunity for a full-service restaurant or flagship retail concept. Located in Foggy Bottom, this high-visibility space sits within one of Washington, DC’s most affluent and institutionally anchored neighborhoods.

The property benefits from heavy foot traffic generated by nearby luxury apartment communities, Class A office buildings, destination hotels, and nationally recognized cultural institutions. Just steps away is George Washington University, home to approximately 27,000 students, faculty, and staff, as well as The Kennedy Center, which attracts roughly 3 million annual visitors. This combination of residential density, daytime employment, student population, and cultural tourism creates consistent demand throughout the week and across dayparts.

The expansive outdoor patio opportunity provides a rare advantage in the DC market, allowing operators to maximize seating capacity and create an activated streetscape presence along Virginia Avenue. Direct access to Rock Creek Parkway, I-66, and the Whitehurst Freeway ensures convenient regional connectivity for both local patrons and destination diners.

The surrounding customer base is highly affluent, with average household incomes exceeding $186,000 within a one-mile radius and a daytime population approaching 40,000 within a half-mile. This underserved market presents a compelling opportunity to establish a premier dining or retail destination in one of DC’s most desirable corridors.
