1344 U Street is located in the Heart of the U Street Historic District with 20 feet of frontage along U Street and 100 feet of frontage along Nap Turner Way. The alleyway was named after the beloved D.C. musician and radio host. Nap Turner Way is rumored to be the first street in D.C.’s “Walk of Fame,” a series of alleys and streets named after the city’s most famous artists and musicians. The Walk, which would stretch along the U Street corridor, would commemorate a location once known as Black Broadway. Once described as a “city within a city” the Greater U Street Historic District is currently a thriving residential and commercial neighborhood of northwest Washington. The district’s main artery, U Street, flows through the center of the neighborhood, offering a variety of stores, restaurants, small businesses, night clubs and other entertainment venues in renovated 19th and early 20th-century buildings. This building is located within a half mile of 8,900 Apartment units with another 900 units under construction. 14th and U Street is the most active block in the U street corridor, the foot traffic, cars and transit services are all here. If great demographics, visibility and a growing educated high-income population are important to your business location, this is the property for you.
