> @LeDroitParkDC & #BloomingdaleDC peeps: See this @WBJKatie article (behind a firewall -- sorry) -- the architectural rendering looks like it might be at 4th & Oakdale Place NW (but I could be wrong) https://t.co/ZVs8S013L7— Scott Roberts (@ScottRobertsDC) August 22, 2018
The image would appear to be an architectural rendering of a building at 4th and Oakdale Place NW. Who wudda thunk?Yes, Fundrise plans to renovate the LeDroit property into apartments and retail!— Katie Arcieri (@WBJKatie) August 22, 2018
Note that this location is outside of the LeDroit Park historic district, so there would be no review by the HPO/HPRB.

Fundrise, a D.C.-based real estate investor and one of the

Fundrise Opportunity Fund LP, the
firm's largest investment vehicle to date by far, is designed to capitalize on
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which allows investors to deploy capital into

Miller said the fund plans to buy up more property in areas such as Eckington and Buzzard Point.
