JBGR, the retail arm of developer JBG, has updated the marketing brochure for Fort Totten Square showing the addition of Wing Stop to the development on the corner of Chillum Place and Riggs Road NE. That leaves one more retail slot available for that corner and one slot still available on the corner of 3rd Street and Riggs Road. Usual caveat: This is just a marketing brochure, not any declaration of binding leases.
The brochure also includes a site plan and rendering for the second phase of the development. Recall that the developers own property south of Phase I on South Dakota Avenue and Riggs Road. They are in negotiation with the District to purchase an adjacent District-owned parcel to build a second phase (see our post on that process here). The site plan depicts retail fronting Riggs Road and a portion of South Dakota Avenue with residences above the retail. A separate entirely residential building sits on South Dakota Avenue. The buildings surround an above-grade parking structure.
A bit of commentary: The retail offerings for Phase I are a big disappointment. I suppose we should not be too surprised once a 120,000 square foot Walmart was signed on as the ground floor anchor. And once Carolina Kitchen pulled out, it was just a matter of time for the developers to line up other retail tenants for a 2015 opening. The developers have said they already have more (and presumably better) interest in the second phase from retailers, as that location offers better visibility. We’ll see what that means.



Thanks for all of you information! Is there a way to suggest what we want in the area? We have too much fast food… how about a salad shop or thai restaurant, and a gym?!?!
There is a big gym coming in phase 1 of art place. I’m sure there will be a gym for residents at FTSQ, along with a pool, so it will be a good move to make friends… that’s my plan.
