Garages going up at National Harbor

Construction is set to begin in a few weeks on the 1,933-space parking garage that will serve the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center at the National Harbor development, according to a bid notice issued by the company administering the project’s minority business enterprise program.

The project, rising along the banks of the Potomac River just south of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, is the largest of its kind in the region. The 300-acre site eventually will have a mix of office, residential and retail space as well as the 2,000-room Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center.
