CityCenterDC, Mixed-use skyscraper complex in downtown Washington, D.C., United States
CityCenterDC is a skyscraper complex spread across five city blocks housing condominiums, rental apartments, offices, and a luxury hotel. The buildings connect to form a unified urban complex in the downtown area.
Construction started in 2011 on the site of the former Washington Convention Center and most buildings opened by 2015. The project represented a major redevelopment effort in downtown Washington.
Palmer Alley runs through the development as a pedestrian walkway lined with upscale shops, fountains, and digital art displays that draw visitors through the space.
The complex sits within walking distance of Metro Center and Gallery Place stations, offering convenient access to downtown transportation. Visitors can easily move between public transit and the pedestrian areas throughout the development.
The complex was briefly the largest urban development on the East Coast before another major project began in New York. This fact highlights how significant the development was for the region.
