A “Modern Day Rockefeller Center” for The Federal City
One of the largest urban development projects in Washington D.C.’s history, the 10-acre CityCenter DC redevelopment consists of seven new buildings and a public park covering more than five city blocks. The development also served as a pilot for LEED for Neighborhood Development, the first program in the United States dedicated to sustainable neighborhood design and, as a result, was one of the first developments to receive LEED-ND Gold certification. The project was completed in 2013.
We provided structural design services to Foster + Partners, Shalom Baranes Associates & Gustafson Guthrie Nichol for two 11-story office buildings and below-grade parking for 1,555 vehicles.
