Rift Valley Capital (RVC) is evicting Full Kee Restaurant and Gao Ya Salon on July 1, 2025 and refusing to extend their vacate date or provide any relocation assistance.
At the same time, RVC has INCOMPLETE financing and a flexible timeline. It is currently currying favor across DC, co-opting our language and claiming to prioritize historic preservation — ultimately trying to get the DC Council to pass an amendment to subsidize its project.
This webpage serves to set the facts straight and offer possible solutions, including city intervention and policy recommendations. RVC is claiming it is working with Chinatown residents, providing relocation assistance, and helping Full Kee and Gao Ya apply for the Chinatown Lease Incentive Grant. It has not.
Full Kee and Gao Ya are actually INELIGIBLE for the Chinatown Lease Incentive Grant. RVC is refusing to commit to any preservation measures related to the actual hotel it is building.
The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) and DC Council MUST take immediate action to preserve DC’s only downtown cultural district.

The Development
RVC's rendering of the planned Marriott Tribute hotel
RVC's rendering of the planned Marriott Tribute hotel
RVC and Eddie Moy are planning to construct a nine-story, 90-unit hotel for long term stays on 505-517 H Street NW. Once constructed, the hotel will be sold to and be operated by Marriott. This project would redevelop a strip of 7 historic rowhomes that have historically housed residential, rent-controlled units and Chinatown small businesses, including Full Kee and Gao Ya.
The developers initially planned to remove all retail from the future development. As a result of SCSN and Wah Luck House Tenant Association’s zoning opposition efforts, the Developer will retain retail on the basement floor level of the hotel.

"Save the Block" Campaign Background
In March 2024, SCSN supported the Wah Luck House Tenants Association in mounting a zoning opposition, to challenge the developers’ variance request to the Board of Zoning Approvals — which would have allowed them to reduce retail originally required by downtown zoning on this block.
As a result of this action, the developers withdrew their variance. The developers agreed to retain retail on the basement level of the hotel development.
A year later in February 2025, after further anti-displacement advocacy, SCSN met with RVC to discuss the status of the hotel plans. At this meeting, SCSN was told that the hotel was at the very early stages of development due to financing challenges.
Around April 2025, Eddie Moy issued a vacate notice of July 1, 2025 for Full Kee and Gao Ya.

Co-opting Preservation Language
In the summer of 2024, the developers produced plans for a Chinese-themed marketplace that supports “storytelling” around Chinatown’s history. One year later, in June 2025, RVC publicly announced it is working to support renovations of other establishments around the corner from the hotel project, including the Temple of Cun Yum and acupuncture clinic — and as such are working to “keeping [establishments] in place” and prevent them from “being displaced."
Yet, Full Kee and Gao Ya are still being forced to leave on July 1. RVC refuses to commit to honoring community input and ensuring their Chinese-style marketplace will serve the neighborhood and its residents.

Incomplete Financing
RVC and Eddie Moy are currently still trying to find financing for their project. We are in a critical moment to disrupt this project before construction begins. Because they don’t have financing yet, construction timelines are still flexible.

On June 4, 2025, RVC submitted a plea to Council to fund their hotel, introduced as the “Central Washington Activation Program Amendment Act of 2025.” This would subsidize RVC in its efforts to displace Chinatown’s long term institutions.

The requested amendment would grant it access to funding from the Office-To-Anything Tax abatement program. Council must reject Rift Valley Capital’s (RVC) amendment request (“Central Washington Activation Projects Temporary Tax Abatement Amendment Act of 2025”).

What is a CBA?
See Jobs to Move America's Community Benefits Agreement Resource Center:
Community benefits agreements (CBAs) are legally enforceable agreements between private companies and coalitions of community and labor groups. CBAs are used to ensure a wide range of high-road job standards, community benefits, environmental mitigations, and equity measures.
Benefits of CBAs:
CBAs foster collaboration between project developers, operators, workers, and the community.
CBAs promote sustainability and help maximize the benefits that surrounding communities, workers, and their families receive.
CBAs are the preferred method of the Department of Energy to demonstrate project benefits and community and labor support.
CBAs involve stakeholders in helping companies recruit, train, and retain workers and create pathways for a highly skilled and diverse workforce that is representative of the community.

Love Letters to Full Kee & Gao Ya
"The first person I met when I moved to DC in 2008 was Martha, who is still my mentor and friend. Our ritual was that we always like to watch Wizards games and get dinner at Full Kee before the game. I have many a fond memory, catching up with her before we headed off for a basketball game. Full Kee has also hosted many community gatherings and I always appreciate the Cantonese food and community spirit of the staff at Full Kee. Full Kee is such a DC Chinatown institution and we must do what we can to protect the few remaining businesses in Chinatown that serve authentic food while being a gathering place for the community."

For us older people, it will be very difficult for us if Gao Ya is forced to move away. We won’t know where to go if they are not here."

"As someone who lives in DC’s Chinatown and works as a food content creator, I can confidently say that Full Kee and Gao Ya are not just businesses — they are cultural institutions that have anchored this neighborhood for decades. I’ve been going to Full Kee for years. It’s the kind of place that feels like home — the kind of place you walk into and immediately know you’re going to be taken care of. Their food is deeply comforting, beautifully made, and rooted in tradition. I’ve shared my love for Full Kee on TikTok multiple times [...] — they’ve reached millions of people. I've had followers tell me they traveled to DC just to try Full Kee after seeing my videos. That kind of impact speaks volumes about how powerful this place is, both culturally and emotionally. To lose Full Kee and Gao Ya to another hotel project — especially when there’s already a hotel across the street — would be devastating. Preserving these businesses isn’t just about saving a restaurant or a salon. It’s about protecting history. It’s about respecting immigrant labor. It’s about making sure future generations have somewhere to go that feels like home — not just somewhere to check into for a night. Full Kee and Gao Ya deserve our support. Chinatown deserves to exist. And we all deserve neighborhoods that value people over profit."
