From Washington, DC central, head north on 9th St NW or take Metro’s Red/Orange/Yellow lines to Gallery Place–Chinatown or Blue/Orange/Red to Metro Center, then walk to 10th & H Streets.

The CityCenterDC development spans ten acres in downtown Washington, D.C., on the former site of the old convention center. Completed in 2015 and designed by Foster + Partners, it comprises luxury condominiums and apartments, Class A office towers, a Conrad hotel, over 40 upscale retail stores like Chanel, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton, award‑winning restaurants, pedestrianized plazas, art installations, and a 1.5‑acre public park—solidifying its status as a premier urban destination.

CityCenterDC is celebrated not just for its architectural elegance and LEED Gold sustainability, but for its dynamic public realm offering year‑round programming—holiday displays, pop‑up art, outdoor dining, and community gatherings. Open daily, it draws residents, office workers, tourists, and local shoppers into a polished streetscape that merges city living with cultural and culinary experience.
