CityCenterDC is a behemoth of a project. The mixed-use development was envisioned as the centerpiece of Washington, D.C., with a mix of condominiums, apartments, offices, public spaces, restaurants, shops and a hotel. The site is 10 acres and takes up four city blocks. There are six buildings that have a total of 2.5 million square feet of space. This is a $700 million development with a construction cost of $425 million.
Groundbreaking occurred in May 2011 with substantial completion scheduled for early 2014. The design architect is Foster and Partners from London. The architect of record is the local D.C. firm, Shalom Baranes Associates.
