Excerpt:

In November, ARCH Development opened its second Anacostia business incubator, The Hive 2.0, on Good Hope Road SE. The basement level, like its 1.0 cousin around the corner, contains small office and shared spaces at modest rent levels. But the fate of the ground level was an open question, and only about 20 percent of the basement office space is filled. Now, ARCH has decided on a course for the remaining space: It'll be part arts center and part training space for people looking to get in on the upcoming action at nearby St. Elizabeths, which the city is looking to develop. 

"It’s a hybrid," says ARCH CEO Duane Gautier. "In other words, the top will be an arts center, and the bottom will stay The Hive, but as part of The Hive we will incorporate services for contractors and small businesses interested in taking advantage of the long-term activities taking place at the St. Elizabeths site."
