by John Nelson

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rock Creek Property Group has broken ground on the repositioning of the historic Takoma Theatre located at 6833 4th St. N.W. in Washington, D.C.’s Takoma neighborhood. Situated two blocks from the Red Line’s Takoma Metro station, the theater opened in the 1920s and was one of the first theaters in the area to feature talking movies. Since its opening, the venue has hosted several performances and events, including an HBO comedy special by Chris Rock in 1996. Rock Creek plans to convert the asset into 23,000 square feet of office and retail space with 15- to 20-foot ceilings. The design team, including Cunningham | Quill Architects and Eichberg Construction, will open the new project this summer. Washington, D.C.-based Rock Creek has more than $100 million of ongoing projects in all stages of the development cycle.
