Based on property information with market context.

Located at 1818-1820 Benning Rd NE, Washington, DC 20002, this mixed-use building totals 3,215 square feet on a 0.09-acre lot and was built in 1947. The 1818 address is currently leased to a liquor store for approximately 1,955 square feet, with the lease in place through November 30, 2026 and annual rent of $45,799. The 1820 side is vacant and available for immediate rental or owner-occupancy.

The property sits within an Opportunity Zone. The remarks cite proximity to the H Street corridor and indicate access to major routes including 295 and Route 50. It is also described as one block from multiple Metrobus and DC Streetcar stops. The location is further characterized as having nearly 40,000 vehicles passing by daily, with nearby retail and multifamily activity within a 1-mile radius.

For tenants, buyers, and operators, the mix of an income-producing retail lease and a ready-to-activate second unit supports both leasing strategy and owner-occupancy. The vacant space is positioned as a fit for business use and, as described, may be eligible for SBA financing. The property is also presented as a redevelopment candidate for a multifamily mixed-use project, with the potential for 20+ residential units combined with ground-floor retail, subject to approvals.
