We had heard rumors that Apple had settled on purchasing 1229 Wisconsin Ave. NW in Georgetown, but the Washington Business Journal confirmed the news on Friday. The building, sold on Sept. 27 to Apple Inc., is currently occupied by French Connection. The manager at French Connection had still not been told about the deal as of the middle of last week.

Initial rumors of a Georgetown Apple store had been focused on the space where Nathan’s restaurant operates at Wisconsin and M Streets. Nathan’s owner Carol Joynt refuted those rumors, and has since posted on her blog that it’s her understanding that the top contender to take over the Nathan’s space is currently T-mobile, though no deal has been finalized.
