Washington , D.C. July 21, 2009 – D.C.'s most distinctive Italian hoagie is about to get more accessible. Taylor Gourmet Deli, recently named in the Top 50 D.C. Restaurants by Washington City Paper, will open a second location at CityVista in Mount Vernon Triangle in October. The restaurant will join recently announced Kushi, a Japanese-style restaurant opening at CityVista in the fall.
Edens & Avant, a retail-focused real estate company, owns the retail portion of CityVista, which encompasses 116,000 square feet of the 843,000 square-foot project at the corner of 5th and K Streets NW. Anchored by an urban lifestyle Safeway, the mixed-use development is characterized by unique retailers geared toward the surrounding neighborhoods.
“If you live or work in Mount Vernon Triangle, you expect your retail and restaurants to be creative, where the experience is as well crafted as the product,” commented Steve Boyle, Edens & Avant Managing Director. “Taylor is a great example of our vision for CityVista, which is to deliver something different and innovative that showcases the local restaurant and retail expertise.”
From the hand-selected ingredients to the layout of the interior space, Taylor is not your typical sandwich shop. Rolls couriered daily from Philadelphia's Sarcone's Bakery, meats and cheeses from Italy, and house-roasted turkey are signatures of their hoagies. Paired with the deli is an extensive Italian market featuring imported and domestic cured meats, a variety of cheeses and pasta, as well as other delicacies.
The passion and forethought owners Casey Patten and Dave Mazza have poured into the restaurant are noticeable – from price points to the green-friendly business model. Perusing the Italian Market, shoppers will find wines representing all regions of Italy under $30. Taylor will be powered 100 percent by wind-generated energy,
“We are extremely excited to be opening our second store in CityVista. We love the area, and the surrounding businesses,” commented Patten. “Our CityVista location will have a 16-foot roll-up door, patio seating and a rustic feel geared toward this market.”
With 140 shopping centers in 14 East Coast states, including 44 centers in the Mid-Atlantic, Edens & Avant is one of the leading retail real estate companies in the nation. The company's portfolio consists of neighborhood, lifestyle, and power centers, with many located in urban markets. Edens & Avant has regional headquarters in Boston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Miami, and Columbia, S.C. For additional information about Edens & Avant, visit www.edensandavant.com.
