Option 1: Tour the Riverfront “Front” Development Project
The Capitol Riverfront neighborhood is a 500-acre former industrial “backyard” of the District that is being rapidly transformed as a high density, TOD mixed use community. It is anchored by world class parks that have created a sense of place and community, two professional sports stadiums, 1.5 miles of riverfront, a vibrant restaurant scene,9,000 residents and over 34,000 employees. Located on Metro’s Green Line, the neighborhood is connected by rail transit to other destination neighborhoods and employment centers. The Federal and DC governments have invested over $2.3 billion in Capitol Riverfront and that is leveraging over $10 billion in private redevelopment. The Anacostia River is being recognized as a citywide asset that connects our residents to over 1,200 acres of public parklands. The tour will focus on many of the investments and public/private partnerships that have helped define today’s Capitol Riverfront neighborhood. With over 19 million SF of development, we are over 55% built-out on our way to a total of 37.5 million SF.
