[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any new updates?[/quote] Didn't post earlier but for every restaurant that closed in my neighborhood 1.5 have taken their place. In the next two weeks we're getting a Pupatella, Smokin Pig BBQ, Officina Italian Market, the Amazon Fresh store, and Baan Siam. https://dc.eater.com/2020/6/5/21281479/baan-siam-thai-restaurant-opening-menu-food-photos-mt-vernon-triangle-dc So IMO the reports that commercial rents would drop and no more restaurants would survive was wrong...as predicted. [twitter]https://twitter.com/PupatellaPizza/status/1268207754507935751[/twitter][/quote] It takes at least 6 months to open a restaurant. All of these openings were planned (and the investments made) pre-Covid, so that doesn't say much about that market.[/quote] I'm going to laugh because - yes, its true that they were pre-planned most investors would still pull out before opening if possible if they think the world is ending. D.C. had 7% higher residential home sales in March 2020 vs March 2019 as well - people kept buying homes, life moves on. And now the market for home sales is even bigger. I personally think the restaurants that opened and remain open will see a huge surge in the summer from bottled up consumer need. This is a screenshot which kind of shows just how well those that can meet the demand are doing (yes, they lack staff). [img]https://i.redd.it/q4hc3y3er1451.jpg[/img][/quote]
