Perkins+Will Poplar Point Development

Anacostia

Forest City and Perkins+Will are leading the development of 130-acre Poplar Point, sandwiched between Howard Road SE and the Anacostia River (map) on the opposite bank from the Capitol Riverfront developments. A three-pronged 70-acre park will be interspersed with 4,100 residential units, 1.2 million square feet of office space, 465,000 square feet of retail, and two 300-room hotels. This will allow every residential unit to overlook public space. A pier, capped by a cultural and environmental facility, will extend to the river.
