Redbrick LMD Signs Atlas Brew Works as Anchor Retailer at The Douglass in the Bridge District in Washington, DC

Popular DC-Based Craft Brewery Noted for Focus on Sustainability to Lease More than 24,000 Square Feet for its Third DC Location

Washington, DC—Redbrick LMD today announced that Atlas Brew Works has signed a 24,260 square-foot long-term lease at The Douglass, the first building of the transformative Bridge District development. The award-winning craft brewpub, along with its food partner Andy’s Pizza, plans to feature a large tap room, outdoor seating, and brewery operations. Atlas Brew Works is the anchor retail tenant at The Douglass, which is currently the largest multifamily development to pursue Zero Carbon Certification from the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), and the only one in the DC area.

“The lease with Atlas, an established and successful food and beverage operator, is an important affirmation of our vision for the Bridge District and signals that great things are coming to this exciting new neighborhood. Atlas, which serves beer brewed by solar power, shares Redbrick LMD’s commitment and focus on the highest levels of sustainability. In addition, having Atlas in the Bridge District supports our goal of creating dynamic experiences for residents and visitors alike. We are thrilled to have Atlas as an activated anchor for our placemaking strategy at the Bridge District,” said Britt Snider, Principal at Redbrick LMD.

The company is expected to begin its operations in the Bridge District in early 2025.

"We're extremely excited to bring Atlas Brew Works' award-winning craft beer to the Bridge District and Anacostia," said Founder & CEO Justin Cox. "We pride ourselves on being sustainable stewards and love the eco-conscious design and values of The Douglass development. We're also ecstatic to expand capacity and operations to keep up with demand in over 24,000 square feet of space."

Currently under construction, The Douglass is a 757-unit multifamily building overlooking the Anacostia River and adjacent to Anacostia Park, with sweeping views of the Washington, DC and Arlington, VA skylines. The extensive retail offerings and amenities at the Bridge District will enable residents of The Douglass to enjoy a lifestyle of convenience in an urban environment surrounded by nature.

The Bridge District encompasses approximately eight acres of entitled matter-of-right, mixed-use density in support of nearly 2.5 million square feet planned to be developed into a dynamic neighborhood of multifamily apartments, retail, and offices. Strategically located in the path of growth along the Washington Metro’s Green Line, the Bridge District intends to provide premier work-from-home capabilities, attractive amenities and services for residents and visitors, a health and wellness theme, and access to nature in an urban environment. All buildings planned for construction at the Bridge District currently target ILFI Zero Carbon Certification and the highest levels of sustainability that are practically achievable for near-term multifamily development in Washington, DC.
