BETHESDA, MD — JBG SMITH announced Bar Colline – a new full-service restaurant concept from the Hilton Brothers’ H2 Collective – at The Grace and Reva (formerly known as 1900 Crystal Dr.) in National Landing.
District-born hospitality entrepreneurs Eric and Ian Hilton are the innovative duo behind H2 Collective, the hospitality group that includes several restaurants, bars, and lounges located throughout the DC metro area.
Their new project, Bar Colline, is an elegant and dynamic interpretation of the beloved French bistro, Café Colline. Drawing inspiration from the energy and charm of Paris nightlife. Bar Colline invites guests to indulge in shareable plates paired with a selection of fun wines and inventive cocktails. The venue boasts an eclectic ambiance, a spacious bar, and a charming private dining room, perfect for hosting special celebrations or a group night out.
“We’re thrilled to welcome H2 Collective’s newest concept, Bar Colline, to the neighborhood and expect it to offer customers a unique and compelling reason to return again and again,” said Amy Rice, senior vice president of retail leasing at JBG SMITH. “In National Landing, we are focused on cultivating engaging places that create lively communities and exciting experiences, for both visitors and residents, and this means striking the perfect balance between entertainment, culinary, service, and essential retail.”
The Grace and Reva include a total of 808 multifamily apartments and 40,000 s/f of street-level retail. Reva, the southern tower, comprises 471 apartments across a 27-story building that is situated alongside The Grace, the 337-unit, 26-story northern building.
At the center of the two new mixed-use buildings, JBG SMITH has created a retail-lined, pedestrian-friendly street under year-round stringed lighting, which will serve as an activated connection between 18th and 20th Sts. The intersecting woonerf will be shared by pedestrians, bicyclists, and low speed motor vehicles and expand the options for outdoor dining, community activations, and neighborhood programming.
JBG SMITH is also including a number of neighborhood-oriented improvements that will benefit the entire community. These include enhanced streetscapes, a grand staircase connecting to public open space, public bike facilities, and more.
