CYwP Fund II Invests in 705 Edgewood

Current Yield with Participation Funds (CYwP Funds) announced today that Current Yield with Participation Fund II (CYwP Fund II) has invested in 705 Edgewood, a 77,209 square foot commercial property located in an upwardly trending NE Washington, DC neighborhood. The property is next to the Red Line’s Rhode Island Avenue Metro Station, which is accessible via a newly built pedestrian overpass. 705 Edgewood is on the edge of downtown DC, with just the NoMA Metro Station between it and Union Station. It is directly in the path of development that extends from the heart of DC, south to NoMA, west to Logan Circle and north to the Catholic University/Brookland Metro Station. There is a clear view from the property along a corridor to the US Capitol. William E. Doar Jr. School (WEDJ), a pre-K through 8th grade charter school that focuses on academics and performing arts instruction, has occupied part of the property for ten years. WEDJ’s lease runs through August 2019. The lease term is expected to be extended, and the remainder of the property may be leased as shell warehouse space or considered for multistory residential development. The property was purchased for $14.2 million.
