Howard Bond Bread Factory / WRECO Garage

In 2018, Howard University launched the process of reimagining and redeveloping the 2.2-acre Bond Bread Factory / WRECO Garage site in the heart of the booming Shaw neighborhood.

The redevelopment will be led by a master development team made up of DC-based developers:

The Menkiti Group, Fivesquares Development, and EDENS.

The mixed-use development will include an activated public and retail space that will serve as a hub of neighborhood and Howard University activity.

The project advances the guiding principles of the Duke District Plan, with an intention to emphasize the centrality of a "university district" to the future of the neighborhood and position that district as a dynamic, mixed-use area.
