Hill East Waterfront, formerly known as Reservation 13, comprises 67 acres on the eastern edge of Capitol Hill. The District plans to redevelop 50 acres at Hill East into a vibrant, mixed-use urban waterfront community in accordance with the Hill East Master Plan approved by the DC Council in 2002. This new waterfront community will connect the surrounding Hill East neighborhood to the Anacostia waterfront via tree-lined public streets, recreational trails, and accessible waterfront parklands.

The District's vision for the site, formed after countless community planning meetings, calls for creating an urban waterfront district that will host a range of public uses and facilities for health care, civic, residential, educational, community and other purposes.

Development Partners
The District expects to select a master developer for the site in mid-2010.
