ICYMI: Architect to Purchase Georgetown Theater

In case you missed it, Georgetown architect Robert Bell plans to make his the Georgetown Theater property on Wisconsin Avenue, The Georgetowner reports.

"I never thought I would see this day come," Bell told the Georgetowner. "It's a miracle." 

Bell would not disclose the final, negotiated price, the property -- not a theater for decades -- was put on the market three years ago for about $4.5 million.

His plan? Bell said the rejuvenated property will include "retail, office and luxury residences."

"The Georgetown Theater is the missing link to restoring Wisconsin Avenue from Book Hill to M Street as one of America’s best streets," Bell told the Georgetowner. "Restoring the façade and vitality of this property will be a major improvement on the quality of Wisconsin Avenue and Georgetown."
