Neighborhood Development

Washington, DC is one of the most robust economies in the U.S., and this has translated into the biggest building boom in the city’s history. As downtown DC reaches build-out, developers have begun investing in the Capitol Riverfront as the next growth area in the city. The Capitol Riverfront offers several amenities that other competitive locations do not have – close proximity to the U.S. Capitol Building, access to three Metrorail lines and two major highways, a new major league ballpark, four world-class parks and a riverwalk trail system, plus a unique nautical heritage. The Capitol Riverfront is the city’s next great business center, urban neighborhood, baseball and entertainment district, and waterfront destination.

The Capitol Riverfront is DC’s newest and most rapidly transforming area:

Office: Approximately 4.4 million sq ft completed; 1 million sq ft currently under construction; and 3.8+ million sq ft planned

Residential: Approximately 650 residential units completed; 2,000 units currently under construction; and 2,700+ units planned

Hospitality & Tourism: The U.S. Navy Museum, the Walking Museum of Transportation and a 200-room Marriott Courtyard completed; 196- room boutique hotel currently under construction; and approximately 800 rooms planned.

Retail & Entertainment: Eight restaurants, Courtyard by Marriott Lounge/Bar, Starbucks, CVS, Congressional Cleaners dry cleaner, Chevy Chase Bank, Lower Barracks Row, plus the 41, 000 seat Nationals' Ballpark with over 100 concessions including Ben's Chili Bowl, Cantina Marina, Red Hot & Blue, Giffords Ice Cream and more; 128,000 sq ft of retail space currently under construction; and 250,000+ sq ft retail planned.
