New Developments in DC

Wondering what the best new developments in DC are? One of DC’s most dynamic, fastest-growing neighborhoods is without a doubt Southwest Waterfront. Home to the iconic marina and District Wharf — a mile-long complex along the Potomac — Southwest DC attracts visitors from near and far who flock here to take in waterfront views and explore the exciting lineup of restaurants, shops, bars, and hotels it has to offer. With all of its commercial appeal, it’s little surprise that the Southwest Waterfront is also a destination for prospective homeowners and renters alike just waiting for that next new development to launch. Luckily, we’ve rounded up the nearby new developments coming soon to the area that are worth all the hype — and then some.

#1: 1319 S Capitol St SW

A new condo and townhouse development by Jefferson Apartment Group and Fortis Property Group is currently in pre-construction that offers 302 units. The unit mix will span studios to three-bedrooms, and many units will have balconies or walk-out patios, and penthouse units will have private terraces. The new development in DC will incorporate row houses within the site on both South Capitol and N Streets; two of the three row houses on South Capitol will be restored for either commercial or residential use, and four of the five row houses on N Street will be restored to deliver three affordable units with interior access to the larger building. An additional three townhouse units will be constructed on South Capitol that will offer the option for live/work space.

#2: Museum Place

Interior demolition is underway on the Randall School at 65 I Street SW (map), making way for the historic portions of the building to be retrofit into a new two-phase development. The project is expected to deliver 489 apartments and/or condos, 18,600 square feet of office/institutional/arts space, and a 31,389 square-foot museum hosting the Rubell Family Collection. The new development in DC may be completed in 2022.
