Old City Development Group is planning to redevelop an old Shaw bakery warehouse into a 56k SF building combining office, residential and retail.

German immigrant Michael Holzbeierlein built the warehouse in 1893 for the Holzbeierlein Bakery. Now the oldest surviving bakery building in the District, it remained open until the owner declared bankruptcy in 1953.
