2026 Martin Luther King Jr Ave SE Washington, DC 20020

This isn't just a space for rent - it's a power position. Smack across from Anacostia's towering Big Chair, this mixed-use building sits at the center of a corridor pulsing with movement, culture, and reinvestment. Zoned C‑2‑A, with three complete levels, this property allows for retail, office, or residential use. The interior might require renovation, which is why the rent is set at an ultra-competitive $2,500/month rate. For a tenant with vision, this is an opportunity to customize a high-exposure space in one of the city's most rapidly transforming areas. Two private parking spaces are located in the back - a premium bonus in this strip. The block sees approximately 12,000 vehicles per day, surrounded by neighborhood staples like the Go-Go Museum & Café, Busboys and Poets, popular dispensary next door, government offices, and banks. The newly opened Cedar Hill Hospital and the CareFirst Arena are both within walking distance. The property also sits just south of the massive Coast Guard HQ and only a few miles from Navy Yard's Phase II expansion, which will add 3,400 residences, 2M square feet of office space, and 400K square feet of retail. Coming soon: D.C.'s first elevated park, the 11th Street Bridge Park, will feature a hammock grove, outdoor event space, café, and community gardens - connecting Capitol Hill to historic Anacostia with a new green spine. Served by Metro's Green Line, steps from I-295, I-395, BW Parkway, and Suitland Parkway, this location offers visibility, traffic, and access. If you've got the vision, this address delivers the exposure.
