The second phase of The Wharf in DC broke ground just over a year ago, and its 1.25 million square feet of mixed-use development has mostly topped out already.

Joining the first phase of The Wharf along the Anacostia waterfront between the Washington Channel and Maine Avenue, from 6th to 11th Streets SW (map), the buildings will begin delivering on a rolling basis in 2022. With the new construction will also come 223 additional boat slips and a 1.5-acre park. Below, we catch up on what's in the pipeline.

In case you missed them, here are the other neighborhoods we have compiled development updates for so far this year:

• The 23 Projects on the Boards For Downtown Bethesda
• The 1,900 Units on the Boards Between Tenleytown and AU Park
• The 2,700 Units (Eventually) Slated for Navy Yard
• 1,900 Units Down, 1,900 to Go: The Status of the South Capitol Street Pipeline
• The 15 Projects and 870 Units on the Boards Around Shaw, and What’s Up Next
• The 240 Units in the Works in Adams Morgan
• The 250 Units Still in the Pipeline Along 14th Street
• The Last 75 Units Headed to the H Street Corridor
• On-Campus and Off-Campus: The Howard University Rundown

670 Maine

Addressed at 670 and 680 Maine Street SW (map), the buildings at Parcel 6 and Parcel 7 will deliver a total of over 500,000 square feet of office space above approximately 33,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. The buildings are designed by SHoP Architects and WDG Architecture, and an "Oculus" glass bridge connecting the two decorates the porte-cochère below. Law firm Williams & Connolly LLP has signed on to relocate its headquarters here next year.

ODA designed the seesaw-style building at Parcel 8, planned to deliver 255 apartments and a 131-room Pendry hotel with spa above 10,000 square feet of retail. Amenities will include a second-floor courtyard with pool, and the building will also have a rooftop bar, restaurant, or lounge.

A pair of Water Buildings will house maritime services and will also add to the retail and restaurant space on the strip.

• Water Building I

Now-split up architecture firm Hollwich Kushner designed this two-story building, expected solely to house a fine-dining restaurant with rooftop terrace. 

• Water Building II

Water Building II will also stand at two stories, delivering 3,000 square feet of maritime services and 14,500 square feet of retail on the ground floor and a restaurant/bar above. As designed by S9 Architecture, the green roof of the building will double as a bridge to the landing below.
