The Wharf

The Wharf is a remarkable waterfront neighborhood that has established Washington, D.C. as a true waterfront city. Located along the Washington Channel of the Potomac River, the first phase of The Wharf opened in 2017 with more than two million square feet of residences, offices, hotels, shops, restaurants, cultural uses, marinas, and public areas including waterfront parks, promenades, piers, and docks. Phase 1 of The Wharf has increased local and regional connectivity through a new water taxi system, the Southwest Neighborhood Shuttle, proximity to Metro, as well as new bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. The second phase of The Wharf broke ground in early 2019 and is scheduled to be completed in 2022. Phase 2 delivers the neighborhood's remaining 1.25 million square feet of mixed-use development, including new office, residential, hotel, marina, and retail space, as well as parks and public places, across a half mile of redeveloped waterfront. At full build out, the $2.5 billion, world-class, mixed-use neighborhood will feature more than 3.2 million square feet of development along a mile of Washington, DC's waterfront from the Municipal Fish Market to Fort McNair.
