According to a recent story in the Washington Business Journal, Amazon has signed a lease for 8,000 plus square foot retail space in northwest DC. The brick-and-mortar storefront will be part of a mixed-use development at 14th and Riggs Streets NW, joining a slew of other retail tenants such as Sephora, Bluestone Lane, and Parachute Home. The property, which is a project from  nonprofit health clinic Whitman Walker Health and Fivesquares Development, will be called The Liz in honor of the actress and HIV activist Elizabeth Taylor, and will also consist of a seven-story structure comprised of residential apartments and 60,000 square feet of office space.

Amazon has already reportedly signed a number of leases for a new grocery concept in Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia.
