    Exciting stuff! My birthday is in September so I look forward to seeing the final results as a birthday treat. What made you pursue development as opposed to an acquisition?

    Hi Adam, thanks for your reply. It really came down to the opportunity to invest with a good friend who is a developer in DC. We made the initial investment back in 2017 utilizing notes to avoid paying UBIT tax getting a fixed rate of return and equity upside. Looking forward to posting about the final product in September.

    No, this is our first one. We know the restaurant business is a tough one for sure especially with all the cuts to government jobs right now. We couldn’t have predicted this back in 2017 when we made the initial investment. It’s a great operator in a great location so hopefully that helps.
