Southwest Waterfront

A Premier Destination Just Steps from the National Mall

The Southwest waterfront will be a true urban destination, where maritime activity and commerce mix with culture and housing to form a vibrant neighborhood. A widened riverside promenade will be anchored by major public plazas – Market Square and a civic park – while piers will provide public access to the water. Pedestrian spaces will be lined with shops and restaurants, with residences located above. Building on existing assets like the Fish Wharf and the Arena Stage, the Southwest waterfront will be a lively destination for residents and visitors alike.
