Hecht Warehouse

This property was originally built in 1937 and expanded in 1948 as the central warehouse for the Hecht Company Department Stores. The six story building was constructed in a Streamline Modern style featuring glass block extensively, culminating in a twelve-point star shaped cupola at the corner that is illuminated at night.  Douglas Development purchased the building in 2011 and redeveloped the property into a mixed-use retail and residential complex in 2016. The warehouse features a 900+ parking garage, 300 apartments and 125,000+ SF of retail.

Uline Arena

Uline Arena was recently re-development in the burgeoning NoMa neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The 2.5 acre site is located at the intersections of Delaware Avenue NE, M Street NE and 3rd Street NE, with Congress Street NE dying into the property. The property is currently occupied by the Arena building (historic), the Ice House building (historic), and two other commercial buildings, most used as parking structures. The Arena building, best known for being the venue for the first American concert given by The Beatles, is also architecturally significant due to its concrete barrel vault roof and structural concrete arches. The Ice House building is the original ice manufacturing facility which provided ice for the skating rink within the Arena building. It was there where Mr. Uline created his patented equipment which became so successful that the Arena building became necessary.

The single-story Arena building was converted into a single level of retail below three levels of office space. The Ice House building has additional ground level retail space with a portion of the first level being dedicated to office. Above this there are two additional levels of office space. Parking is also available on site.
