The Wendy s property at 100 New York Ave. NE
The District government filed an eminent domain case in D.C. Superior Court last month against the owner of the Wendy s property at 100 New York Ave. NE, an affiliate of Bernstein Management Corp. D.C. is paying the owner $13.1M for the property, according to a Monday filing in the Recorder of Deeds.
District Department of Transportation interim Director Everett Lott, in an emailed statement to
Bisnow, said this action represents a key part of the transformation effort. This is an important milestone in DDOT’s ongoing efforts to make a notorious intersection safer and easier to navigate for the thousands of drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists who travel through this corridor every day, Lott said. Over the coming months, we look forward to working with key community stakeholders to complete this process and the design of the new intersection at Florida Avenue and New York Avenue.
