Onyx on First is at rear.
In 2012, it was
officially announced (after months of
rumors) that brewery and restaurant Gordon Biersch was coming to the corner ground-floor retail space at 100 M. It is opening on April 1, 2013. See more interior photos
in this gallery. (3/28/13)

March 29, 2015 - The same location (backed up a bit), completed.
Looking west along M Street from between New Jersey Avenue and First Street, in February 2006. The low-rise white building at center is the On Luck Cafeteria, marking the corner of the 100 M site. (05/06)
March 21, 2009 - The same location, almost complete. (Note also

100 M is quite easily seen as one looks up First Street from the Frederick Douglass Bridge. (6/5/08)
The construction of Onyx and 100 M is visible from inside the
Nationals ballpark, although the parking garages and other nearby construction have obscured the view. (8/3/08)
The On Luck Cafeteria held out at 1st and M for a long time.... (05/04)
But the owner accepted a purchase offer of $4.5 million in February 2006, and in September of that year On Luck (and the Zohery Bus Tours garage beside it) was demolished. Now 100 M has taken over the landscape. (5/10/09)
A cropped photo from Sept. 2000 showing the corner of 1st and M; note that past On Luck and the "Auto Wholesale" sign is a rowhome, standing alone. This is on that triangle of property next to the alley that Opus East was unable to buy; the structure was demolished sometime before 2003. (09/00)
