The Washington Business Journal is reporting that on June 13, the Anacostia Waterfront Corporation (AWC) trimmed its initial list of 17 developers vying for the right to redevelop the 47-acre Southwest waterfront to just five teams. Four of the teams are led by Washington-area developers, with the last team hailing from Chicago. The teams are: EastBanc-LNR Waterfront Partners; Madison Marquette and KSI Services and Waterfront Partners; SW Waterfront LLC (headed by JBG); PN Hoffman and Struever Brothers Eccles & Rouse; and the John Buck Co. of Chicago. The five teams were selected for their experience with public/private large-scale, mixed-use projects. The AWC expects to select a final team by the end of this summer to fulfill its dream of a gleaming new $500 million waterfront full of "maritime-themed" housing and retail. Considering how the Southwest waterfront is now blocked by rows of big-boxed restaurants of middling quality, the AWC plan is a welcome development that will embrace DC’s impressive waterfront.
