Safe Credit Union Convention & Preforming Arts Centers Construction

Safe Credit Union Convention Center construction - K Street

Both the Convention & Preforming Arts Centers are scheduled to be completed in March of 2021, about a five month delay from the original opening date of October 2020. The estimated $196 million renovation/expansion of the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center will add meeting rooms, exhibit halls and more lobby and kitchen space. At roughly $85 million, the renovation of the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center will enhance the theater’s aesthetic appeal, improve its lobby and make the venue more accessible to disabled patrons. Work also will be done on the theater’s loading dock, which will allow it to host larger shows.

The stretch of 13th Street between J & K Streets looks to be a new dead space where a 60 foot wall now stands. This area use to have both a coffee shop & café and lots of outside seating, but now it appears to be sterile sidewalk... the forgotten west side. Image below to see what I'm talking about.
