City Center DC - The Old Convention Center Site in Washington, DC

City Center DC, the 10-acre old Convention Center site in Downtown Washington, DC is in the process of being redeveloped. The first phase of the project is a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with more than 185,000 square feet of retail situated at the base of six buildings that encompass 458 rental apartment units and 216 condominium units; and 520,000 square feet of office space. The project also includes 1,555 below-grade parking spaces; a new street grid reinstated throughout the site, and nearly an acre of public open spaces. A second phase of the project is planned to include a 350-room upscale hotel, along with 110,000 additional square feet of retail.

City Center DC is located between New York Avenue and 9th and H and 11th Streets within walking distance to the Washington Convention Center and the Verizon Center. The project broke ground in the spring of 2011 and the first phase is expected to be completed in late 2013. This is definitely a neighborhood to watch for future growth in the nation's capital.
