Following the successful opening of its first two D.C. locations in West End and Georgetown, Bluestone Lane’s third outpost will bring more of its premium coffee and healthy fare to Capitol Riverfront, at 99 M Street, SE.
“Bluestone Lane is exactly the right fit for our 99M development from both the design and offerings perspectives. Their decision to locate in our building 99 M Street, SE on the corner of First and M Streets, SE. The striking 11-story building is steps from both Navy Yard-Ballpark Metrorail entrances and seven blocks from the U.S. Capitol. The Class-A building will include approximately 220,000 square feet of office space, with approximately 11,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space on the ground floor.
