Plans for the much-anticipated megaproject for D.C.’s Southwest Waterfront have been submitted to the zoning commission, the first concrete step in creating a new, five-star destination that will revive that section of the city.
DCMud reports that PN Hoffman and Madison Marquette filed a preliminary report with the D.C. Zoning Commission on June 28 “clarifying its plans for the 52 acres (including build out on the water) that will be radically revamped as ‘The Wharf’ to be constructed in three phases over the next 10 years.”
Construction of the first phase, if approved by the commission, will be followed by a master plan and ground breaking is projected for late 2012 and construction will last until 2016.
Phase I will begin in the middle section of the warf from 7th to 9th streets. Phase II is the section is closest to I-395, which focuses on water-transit-oriented piers and redevelopment of the Fish Market. Phase III is the residential area at the southern end of the warf.
The Zoning Commission is set to hear the case on July 18.
