Hoffman-Madison Waterfront, the master developer of The Wharf, today announced details about the two new apartment buildings that will open in 2017.
"The Wharf is a world class waterfront community with new apartments appealing to a wide range of tastes and income levels," said Monty Hoffman, Founder and CEO of PN Hoffman. "While Incanto is created for those who embrace luxury living with the freedom of renting, The Channel is reflective of the next generation of DC professionals that value engagement and an energetic lifestyle. This is true waterfront living as all residents will have access to kayaks on the Recreation Pier, and a free water jitney to East Potomac Park."
The Channel
The Channel is one of Washington's largest apartment buildings currently under construction and is uniquely positioned to be one of the District's most dynamic places to live. The waterfront residential building, located at 950 Maine Avenue SW, consists of two "L"-shaped apartment towers with a total of 501 residences (micro-studios, one- and two-bedrooms). The building is designed by Perkins Eastman.
With an industrial design aesthetic made up of polished concrete, metal and reclaimed wood, with pops of color and art, residents will enjoy unique unit finishes and stunning views of monuments, urban theatre and water. The building offers unprecedented amenity spaces, including a one-acre outdoor green space on the sixth floor that offers an infinity pool with cabanas overlooking the waterfront, a dog run, community garden, bocce courts, grass yard, fire pit, happy hour bar, and grilling stations. Other building amenities include a fully equipped fitness center with training rooms, library lounge, party room, and much more. Other uses in the building include a 150,000 SF concert hall and ground floor restaurants, taverns, and retail.
The Channel is designed to meet LEED Silver for New Construction standards and offers an impressive list of sustainable features including a 250-kilowatt low carbon natural gas cogeneration plant, cisterns to recycle rain water into the cooling tower, and solar panels on the roof. Pre-leasing begins in the spring 2017, with move-ins ready in the fall. To receive updates, register at www.DCChannel.com.
Incanto
Incanto offers 148 sophisticated, modern apartments. Residents will enjoy the vibrant waterfront community of The Wharf which encompasses luxury community living in the heart of DC's newest intersection of music, shopping and dining. Incanto offers a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments designed by Gary Handel with ample living space. Amenities include a fitness center, resident lounge, and landscaped central courtyard with grills and fire-pit. Front desk concierge and on-site management staff will complement the building amenities package, creating a boutique resident experience. Incanto is also designed to meet the LEED Silver for New Construction certification. Incanto is located at 770 Maine Avenue and is adjacent to VIO, the 112-unit condominium building, with vibrant ground floor retail and restaurants, including the lively Pearl Street.
Pre-leasing begins in the spring 2017, with move-ins ready in the fall. To receive updates, register at www.IncantoDC.com.
The Channel and Incanto include affordable and workforce housing, as well as market rate apartments. Both will be managed by Bozzuto Properties.
"Both Incanto and The Channel represent the creative spirit that informs The Wharf's entire urban revitalization concept. These residences represent 'best of class' living space consistent with the highest levels of sustainability and energy efficiency - along with luxury finishes, unmatchable riverfront views and optimal access to entertainment, dining, retail and outdoor enjoyment spaces," said Amer Hammour, Chairman of Madison Marquette.
Both buildings are served and easily accessible by public transit including L'Enfant Plaza and Waterfront Metro Stations, multiple bike share locations, water taxi and Wharf Shuttle routes. There will also be limited secure parking available in the below-grade garage.
