Washington, DC:
A City on the Rise

Like many central cities across the U.S., Washington, D.C.,
is experiencing a significant rise in population-reversing a
trend that had seen the number of residents steadily decline
for decades. Now, D.C.'s renaissance is drawing new residents
of all ages back from the suburbs, with transformative
redevelopment paced to match its rapid growth.
Spurred by trends in smart growth and a commitment
to long-term revitalization, the nation's capital is today a
case study in successful urban renewal. Much of the vision
for growth and redevelopment first set forth in the 1990s
has been realized, resulting in a recharged economy,
an increase in population and new business, and the
creation of a dynamic day-to-night urban environment.

A Downtown Centerpiece
The 2.5-million-square-foot CityCenterDC, which spans
three blocks in downtown's Penn Quarter, clearly reflects
Washington, D.C.'s enhanced stature as a vibrant place
to live, work, shop, and play. Phase I consists of four
residential towers and two trophy-class office towers, along
with shops, restaurants, and a public park. Dewberry
provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP)
engineering for this development, which reflects a high
level of energy efficiency and sustainability. The residential
towers have been designed to achieve LEED® Silver
certification for New Construction and the office towers are
pre-certified LEED Gold Core & Shell.
The Hines development team has called
CityCenterDC "a model for responsible, environmentally
sensitive multi-use developments." MEP engineering
challenges included integrating systems within residential
towers that feature stepped massing and setbacks, complex
ventilation requirements for multiple commercial
kitchens, and incorporation of bi-directional amplification
