Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime event: our Kickoff Celebration Weekend—four days of live music, festivities, fun, and fireworks along the waterfront.
The Wharf development team is led by PN Hoffman and Madison Marquette. When complete, The Wharf will feature approximately three million square feet of new residential, office, hotel, retail, cultural, and public spaces including waterfront parks, promenades, piers, and docks. The Wharf is within four blocks of the L’Enfant Plaza and Waterfront Metrorail stops. Capital BikeShare is conveniently located throughout the neighborhood. Dates, times, and events subject to change.
