A large REI location near Union Station. This building has had a storied history from hosting Inaugural balls, the first Beatles concert in the Temptation riot, a parking lot and now redeveloped into an REI. As you walk around the store, you will see posters pointing to the buildings past as a concert venue.

"In 2015, outdoor retailer REI announced that it would develop the property into its fifth flagship store and first store in Washington, D.C. In addition to the 51,000-square-foot (4,700 m2) REI store, plans called for the fully redeveloped site to house 146,200 square feet (13,580 m2) of office space and an additional 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2) of retail space for other users. The REI store opened on October 21, 2016, with a marching band and other festivities, as the largest REI store on the United States East Coast. In April 2017, Spaces, a co-working brand based in Luxembourg, became the second tenant, taking over 34,000 square feet (3,200 m2) of office space. Spaces Co-working is a subsidiary of Regus, which is owned by International Workplace Group." wikipedia
