Spotlight: New Projects in Development | Washington D.C.

Washington D.C. is experiencing new development on a large scale, turning the city into one of the fastest growing construction markets in the United States. From commercial offices and hotels to residential towers...

D.C. has a numerous large-scale projects that are currently under construction, or will be constructed in the near future. Here are just a few of the projects that ElectricWeb-Atlantic has been following:


Skyland Town Center / Hillcrest

Development of the 18.5-acre site where Naylor and Good Hope Roads intersect with Alabama Avenue SE stalled a bit after Wal-Mart pulled out of their agreement to construct a location there earlier this year.

The project will construct approximately 340,000 square feet of retail and 476 residential units surrounding a public square.

The plan also includes 823 parking spaces; the Skyland Development Team includes the Rappaport Companies, W.C. Smith, Torti Gallas and Partners and Michael Marshall Architecture.

Poplar Point Development / Anacostia

Forest City and Perkins+Will are leading the development of 130-acre Poplar Point, sandwiched between Howard Road SE and the Anacostia River on the opposite bank from the Capitol Riverfront developments.

A three-pronged 70-acre park will be interspersed with 4,100 residential units, 1.2 million square feet of office space, 465,000 square feet of retail, and two 300-room hotels.

This will allow every residential unit to overlook public space. A pier, capped by a cultural and environmental facility, will extend to the river.
