While an extraordinary site certainly contributes to the success of a waterfront project, the creation of a truly unique placerequires the desire to embrace the natural setting and integrate it into a human-scaled setting that engages the senses.This is achieved at National Harbor, an ambitious 300-acre urban mixed-use project perched along the Potomac River inPrince Georges County, Maryland. With the first phase completed, the plan for National Harbor will ultimately encompassnearly 500,000 square feet of office space, 2,500 residential units, 4,000 hotel rooms, a convention center, luxury resortwith marina, and over one million square feet of retail, dining and entertainment offerings aligned with scenic parks, publicspaces and a magnificent collection of public art. National Harbor is oriented toward the river, with the street patternand building placement designed to provide physical and visual access.
