Welcome to Poplar Point Place a proposed development designed to make Anacostia one of the areas most livable and entertaining destinations in all of Washington, DC.  Ultimately containing 6M sf of office, residential, retail and other entertainment venues, PPP will be a new landmark in DC.  Master planned to enjoy all the benefits of a unique location situated on the Anacostia River with some of the areas best views of the US Capitol and the   Buildings have been laid out so the visitor can at all times enjoy the various views, attractions, and amenities offered at Poplar Point. 

We started our site plans with the goal of making a first class park maximizing the recreation of the land and water while being sensitive to the existing wetlands, wildlife, and fauna.  We then set about making a first class pedestrian neighborhood.   Next we set out to create the interest and amenities that would make the area a first class destination for locals and visitors alike.   We then shaped our buildings to create both the volume and uses that were in demand, financeable and sustainable.  Lastly we reviewed the site plan and the buildings to ensure the site lines maximized both views, open space, and sense of place.
