Ralph Lauren in PQ?

Greater Greater Washington reports today that the Equitable Building at 915 F Street (nee The Fifth Column, Club Bounce, Platinum Nightclub, Museum of Arts and Sciences, etc.) is getting closer to sale.  You may remember that back in January it was OK'd for a pop-up, and Douglas Jemal reports that retailers are interested in the space, specifically Ralph Lauren.  If true, this would be Lauren's second location in the District - the other on Wisconsin in Georgetown (and the third if you count Rugby).

Ralph Lauren would join Anthropologie, Lou Lou, Mia Gemma and the forthcoming J. Crew on that block, and of course Zara, Forever 21, Macy's, Guess, American Apparel, and H&M all just a block or two away.  We could hit 1.1 million square feet of retail far before 2018 if we keep this up!
