This step comes two years after the opening of the new 2.3-million-sf Washington Convention Center nearby, two years after Hines and Archstone won the competition to develop the site and six months after the implosion of the old 800,000-sf facility.
The former convention center covers a nine-block area at New York Avenue and 11th Street NW. The Hines and Archstone plan specifies the conversion of the property to a live-work-play destination featuring 300,000 sf of prime office space, 275,000 sf of retail offerings, and more than 770 condominium units. The DC Council will vote on the resolution next week.
