Description:

1786 Florida Avenue NW is a highly visible hard-corner retail opportunity at Florida Avenue NW and 18th Street NW in the Adams Morgan/Dupont corridor. Held by long-term ownership for 30+ years, the property offers prominent corner exposure, strong pedestrian and vehicle visibility, and signage/branding potential that is difficult to replicate in traditional in-line retail.

The building includes approximately 1,090 SF of ground-floor retail space plus a full basement for storage, totaling approximately 2,179 SF of gross building area per DC records. The property is currently leased to ACE Cash Express through July 31, 2027, providing near-term income while a future owner-user or investor plans for occupancy, repositioning, or long-term control of the corner.

This offering is best suited for a buyer seeking to control a high-profile DC corner location in an established urban retail corridor, with value driven primarily by location, visibility, corner frontage, and future use potential rather than current in-place income.
