Grimke School 1923 Vermont Ave NW

Community Three Development completed construction on the Grimke School located at 1923 Vermont Avenue in the heart of the U Street Corridor directly across the street from the U Street Metrorail station. The office portion of the LEED Gold development includes pre-built spec suites, loft-style spaces with 12'4" to 16'5" slab-to-slab heights, exposed steel beams, original building elements, and skylights offering an abundance of light-filled working areas. Grimke School, the restoration of the former school building, is the centerpiece of the 9½ Street Initiative - a collection of residences, workspaces and cultural beacons that celebrate the District of Columbia’s rich artistic character and entrepreneurial spirit. Originally built in 1887, Grimke School was renamed in 1934 for Archibald Grimke, an American lawyer, intellectual, journalist, diplomat and community leader in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The new Grimke School includes an extensive historic preservation effort and first-class loft-style office and cultural arts spaces that are built for collaboration, innovation, and creativity.
