Description

477 H Street NW is a trophy corner leasing opportunity at the intersection of H Street and 5th Street NW in the heart of DC’s Chinatown, just steps from the Gallery Place–Chinatown Metro. The building offers approximately 11,200 SF across three levels plus a mezzanine, with strong frontage, excellent visibility, and steady Arena District foot traffic.

The property has undergone a major core and shell upgrade with over $2 million invested, including basement underpinning, a new TPO roof, 2000-amp electrical capacity, a new 4-inch water main supporting high-volume commercial use, upgraded gas service with lines pressure-tested and approved, new sanitary plumbing and rough-ins throughout, a fully installed and approved NFPA 13 sprinkler and fire alarm system, and a full-size 4-stop passenger elevator providing access to all floors including the basement.

Zoned D-4, the site supports a wide range of by-right commercial uses including restaurants, nightlife and entertainment, grocery, cultural uses, retail, bank, and office. A liquor license is available, and the property qualifies for upcoming table games authorization, making it ideal for a flagship entertainment, hospitality, or destination retail concept.

The asset is positioned to benefit from major neighborhood momentum, including the nearby Chinatown Hotel development, the multi-hundred-million-dollar Capital One Arena renovation, the Gallery Place redevelopment, and the large-scale RFK Stadium site redevelopment, all driving increased activity and demand throughout downtown and the city.
