Downtown, Central business district in Washington, United States.

Downtown Washington combines federal buildings, corporate offices, restaurants, and retail establishments across a grid of wide streets and modern architecture.

The area emerged as Washington's commercial core in the late 1800s, transforming from residential properties into the central business district of the capital.

The neighborhood contains the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery and numerous theaters presenting performances throughout the year.

The extensive Metro system connects Downtown Washington through five lines, with stations at Metro Center and Gallery Place serving as major transit hubs.

CityCenterDC presents an integrated complex of apartments, offices, and high-end retail spaces spanning more than five city blocks in Downtown Washington.
