Hill East Waterfront

Washington, DC

EE&K designed a new plan at the edge of the Anacostia River for the 67-acre Hill East Waterfront neighborhood on Capitol Hill in our Nation’s Capitol. The plan will transform the area from an isolated campus of aging and abandoned buildings and large parking lots to a new mixed-use waterfront community of streets, parks and public spaces. The new neighborhood will provide sites for new health-related facilities currently on the site and offer other locations for municipal office, retail and residential development. The plan is focused on providing new public spaces and amenities and culminates in a Monument Circle at the new termination of Massachusetts Avenue, overlooking a new waterfront park and park drive.

The plan was developed with a public process involving more than 300 citizens citywide. The city council adopted the plan in the fall of 2002.
