Giant has signed a lease to bring a 41,000-square-foot grocery store to 3rd and H Street Northeast, Ward 6 Councilman Tommy Wells announced Wednesday morning.
The grocery store will be a key component to a redevelopment project at the corner that will include street-level retail space and 215 housing units. The Giant is expected to open during the first quarter of 2013.
“This is a great next step in the revitalization of the H Street Corridor,” Wells said in a statement. He added that he’s “excited” that Giant will “deliver on a vision that embraces the new streetcar and the proximity to Union Station.”
