About The Colonel

Rooted in history and designed for modern living, The Colonel is a distinctive residential experience in the heart of Shaw, Washington, DC. Named in honor of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, the American Civil War officer who led the first African American regiment in the U.S. Army in 1863, the building pays tribute to both its namesake and the rich cultural legacy of the Shaw neighborhood that surrounds it. Originally constructed at the turn of the century, The Colonel has been thoughtfully reimagined through an award-winning renovation that blends historic character with forward-thinking design. The result is a residence that feels both timeless and contemporary—honoring the past while embracing the future. Inside, residents will find refined finishes, intentional design details, and a level of craftsmanship that elevates everyday living. The building’s architecture and interiors create a strong sense of place, offering a boutique residential experience with undeniable presence in one of DC’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Beyond your front door, The Colonel places you at the center of it all. Directly below the building, residents enjoy immediate access to Espita and All-Purpose Pizzeria, two standout dining destinations that bring energy and convenience right home. Step outside and you’re surrounded by Shaw’s dynamic mix of restaurants, nightlife, coffee shops, and neighborhood essentials—all within walking distance. With its award-winning design, historic significance, and unbeatable location, The Colonel offers a rare opportunity to live in a building that is as meaningful as it is modern.
