Duball LLC and Safeway have announced a start date for their Safeway project at 3830 Georgia Avenue. The project, announced several years ago, will develop a 62,000 s.f. Safeway with 220 apartment units above. The development will replace the dated 21,000 Safeway building. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held September 19th.
The "transit oriented state-of-the-are Safeway," sitting on 1.56 acres, is one block north of the Georgia Avenue-Petworth Metro and will include 86 below grade spaces for customers and 135 spaces for residents. The development agreement, worked out between landowner Safeway and developer Duball, keeps Safeway as the owner of the land with Duball granted development rights for residential units and parking on top of the Safeway.
Marc Dubick, founder of Duball, was the principal developer of the
CityVista Safeway in Mt. Vernon Triangle. Duball previously developed Lionsgate in Bethesda and
Rockville Town Center.

Safeway officially announced today that it will close its Petworth store on September 8th to make way for the mixed-use development that has been long planned for the site. The new store, to be developed by Duball, is scheduled to open mid 2014, with a 62,000 s.f. facility that will be the third largest in the city, triple the size of the current store. Five floors of residential will sit atop the supermarket at 3830 Georgia Ave. Torti Gallas designed the new building.
