EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Marcus & Millichap is pleased to exclusively present 1508 U Street NW, a four-level, mixed-use investment property totaling approximately 3,600 square feet in the heart
of Washington, D.C.’s dynamic U Street Corridor. Affectionately known as The RBG Building, the property holds national recognition as the site of the first public mural
honoring Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, featured by CNN and personally visited by Justice Ginsburg herself. With prime frontage along U Street and
additional visibility from a rear public alley, this asset offers unmatched exposure and dual signage opportunities.
The property is zoned MU-4 and currently configured with a ground-floor retail suite and a bi-level office space above, allowing for flexible owner-user or multi-tenant

Strategically positioned just steps from 14th & U, the property offers exceptional walkability to the U Street Metro which serves the Green/Yellow Lines. The surrounding
neighborhood is one of the most vibrant in Washington, D.C., characterized by high foot traffic, strong demographics with average household incomes of $197,000
within a half-mile, and sustained demand from both residents and businesses.
The investment outlook is bolstered by over $1 billion of recent and planned development in the immediate area, including the Reeves Center redevelopment and
multiple large-scale projects by Hoffman & Associates, Transwestern, EastBanc, and FORTIS Companies. Within one mile, more than 800 new residential units, 43,000
square feet of retail, and 100,000 square feet of office space are under development, further fueling long-term appreciation and rent growth.
Whether acquired as a cash-flowing asset today or ideal for owner user, 1508 U Street NW represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington, D.C. history in
