THE MARKET – WASHINGTON DC METRO
H-Street / Noma Neighborhood
The eastward path of development from the city center in recent years is clear – NOMA to H Street, Union Market, and up into Ivy City.
Over 2,000 multifamily rental and condo units have been delivered and stabilized over the past six years in the H Street Corridor alone, including AVA H Street, The Apollo on H Street, The Anthology, and The Flats at Atlas, which look to bring people to the ever-increasing theaters, restaurants, and music venues of the area.
Just north of the H Street Corridor and less than 1.5 miles from Bonsai, Union Market generates a massive influx of pedestrian traffic as the mixed-use development draws people from all over the city with its abundance of pop-up stores and food vendors.
Ivy City is experiencing spillover from this growth and has accommodated new developments such as the mixed-use Hecht’s Warehouse project and the under-construction New City development.
With Amazon’s HQ2 effect on Washington DC Metro Area, and an available housing shortfall expected in the coming years, Bonsai is poised to become a successful addition to the community.
