Washington, D.C., February 8, 2011 – Private sector interest in NoMa continues to increase as B&B Realty Investments purchased 50 Florida Avenue, NE, a 62,000 SF warehouse. B&B Realty’s acquisition closely follows Skanska’s purchase of the Capitol Plaza II and III development site at First and M Streets, NE, last month.

B&B Realty purchased the warehouse, located two blocks from the New York Avenue Metro Station, with plans to redevelop the site. The purchase signifies new interest in the northern portion of NoMa, which until now has remained relatively quiet on the development front.

“We are thrilled to be a part of the NoMa transformation, and plan to bring a significant first-class project to market as we redevelop the site in the near future,” says Rick Brown of B&B Realty. The group is still finalizing their plans for the future use of the property.

The property will continue to operate as a warehouse and storage facility until further plans have been solidified for the site.
