About this home

Seize the opportunity to build in one of the city's most dynamic and fast-growing neighborhoods. Situated directly on the highly visible Benning Road corridor, this expansive lot offers over 4,000 square feet of pure development potential. With a prior multi-unit apartment building on site that was completely demolished and cleared in 2019, the heavy lifting of site clearing is already done. This presents a true blank slate for a developer or investor looking to capitalize on a fresh start in an area experiencing incredible momentum. The surrounding neighborhood is undergoing rapid revitalization, fueled by an influx of new residents and popular local businesses that are transforming the streetscape. Whether you envision a new multi-family condo project, a modern apartment building, or a mixed-use concept, the footprint and location offer the perfect foundation for a highly profitable build. Bring your architect and capitalize on the ground-floor opportunity of this evolving corridor.

About Civic

Betterment

Civic Betterment, located between the U.S. Capitol Grounds and Union Station, is a civic and transit-oriented Washington neighborhood with monumental streetscapes and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Massachusetts Ave NE at Columbus Circle, where commuters, tour groups, and coffee counters share the sidewalks under broad sightlines to the dome. Architecture leans federal-era grandeur—stone facades, formal plazas, and institutional buildings—set against a steady rhythm of buses and rail. The National Postal Museum and Union Station act as cultural anchors with gallery halls and grand concourses. The Capitol Visitor Center adds a museum-like layer to the daily streetscape. Side streets quiet down into landscaped triangles and benches that frame the city’s ceremonial core.
