D.C. Central Kitchen hopes to begin the move from its longtime home in downtown D.C. to a new facility inBuzzard Point next month, roughly two years after sealing the deal with its new landlord.
The shift is a big one for the food assistance and job training nonprofit, both literally and figuratively. It will be expanding and consolidating its physical footprint from a trio of locations, including a roughly 9,000-square-foot commercial kitchen in the basement of the Federal City Shelter nearJudiciary Square, to a roughly 36,000-square-foot space at the base of the RiverPoint, a multifamily building with ground-floor retail developed on the site of the former U.S. Coast Guard headquarters at 2100Second St. SW.
