Southwest Waterfront

With a number of upscale restaurants and gleaming new apartment buildings, it’s easy to see some of the newest and most modern additions to the Southwest Waterfront. The neighborhood, however, is really a combination of both the old and the new.

Take, for example, Municipal Fish Market. It’s been in the neighborhood since the early 1800s and is considered the longest continually operating open-air fish market in the entire nation.

Another local attraction, Capital Yacht Club, has been around for well more than a century itself. A regional theater called Arena Stage has been in operation for more than a half century.

Another new luxury condo building is headed to the DC waterfront. Amaris is a 12-story building, set to soon join The Wharf’s highly anticipated Phase 2 development. 

Plans call for 96 new condos in Amaris, complemented by a large amount of outdoor space and added amenities in an exceptional waterfront setting. Designed to further enhance its location and its views, Amaris will offer an all-glass façade, and every residence will be built to incorporate its own private outdoor space.

The curved design of the building is said to mimic the movement of the water, and to capitalize on the location’s fantastic views. The condos of Amaris begin with your choice of a one-bedroom floor plan with 700 square feet of living space.

With easy access to the waterfront and an array of shops, restaurants and activities, Tiber Island proves a spectacular setting for co-op buyers and renters in the DC area. Made up of four high-rise buildings and a few dozen townhomes, the large residential complex supplies a range of floor plans.

Originally built up in the mid 1960s, Tiber Island has served as home to the likes of former Vice President Hubert Humphrey and other political leaders over the years. A mix of co-op and townhome units, Tiber Island is a man-made island that’s now connected to the “mainland”.

With hundreds of residential units to choose from, the floor plans of Tiber Island typically begin with an efficiency unit, offering at least 500 square feet of living space. The

You’ve likely heard about DC’s Southwest Waterfront, but there are plenty of cool facts you may not know. While the area’s now home to restaurants, nightclubs and marinas, it was actually fairly underutilized and isolated from much of the rest of DC until just a couple of years ago.

That’s when the Wharf began transforming the waterfront area into what we see today. Plans are in progress to redevelop the Southwest Waterfront into a mixed-use development with millions of square feet or retail, hotel, office, cultural and residential space.
