WASHINGTON-Forest City Washington filed development plans on Wednesday with the DC Zoning Commission to create four new city blocks in the Capitol Riverfront District east of Nationals Park.
The planned unit development filed with the commission covers roughly 235,130 square feet bounded by First Street SE, N Place SE, Diamond Teague Park and D.C. Water's Main and O Street pumping stations. Most of the site is occupied by D.C. Water, either its facilities or its lots, according to the Washington Business Journal.
The developer proposes to build 600 units of housing in two apartment buildings, a 16-screen movie theater, and 52,000 square feet of retail, arts and entertainment space. The plan also calls for the expansion of Diamond Teague along the Anacostia River, to reintroduce the street grid and extend Potomac Avenue through the site.
