The Wharf is a relatively new waterfront development in Washington D.C., officially opening in phases beginning in October 2017. Located along the Southwest Waterfront, it represents a significant revitalization project for the area. The development features a mix of residential buildings, hotels, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues including The Anthem concert hall and smaller performance spaces. Prior to its redevelopment, the area was largely industrial and underutilized; historically it served as a bustling fish market and port for goods arriving in the capital city. The Wharf aims to provide public access to the waterfront with pedestrian promenades and recreational areas alongside commercial offerings.
