Date: June 9, 2015 Subject: 11th & K Street Hotel Comprehensive Transportation Review (CTR) INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents a Comprehensive Transportation Review (CTR) of the 11th and K Street Hotel development located at 1011 K Street in the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. The hotel is being developed by Douglas Development and will be operated by TPG Hospitality. Figure 1 identifies the regional site location within the District. The site is currently occupied by a parking lot and abandoned row houses and will be redeveloped into a hotel comprising of approximately 200 hotel rooms and 4,000 square feet (sf) of ground floor retail space which is anticipated to be a restaurant. No parking will be supplied on-site. All loading will take place on the north side of the site via an alley accessed from 10th Street, 11th Street, and Massachusetts Avenue. The hotel proposed for this site will be unique for the Washington D.C. metro area. Similar to other hotels that have been constructed in cities like New York, London, Amsterdam, and Tokyo, the 11th and K Street Hotel will feature micro hotel rooms which will provide approximately 150-200 sf in space in each room.
