Described by the New York Times as a modern day Rockefeller Center in downtown Washington, City Center DC is actually its own unique and modern entity, an upscale outdoor shopping and dining mall that also includes two 12-story condominium buildings. Located in the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood, the ambitious project covering more than five city blocks. The condo buildings with their 216 luxury residences were designed by Shalom Baranes Associates and Foster + Partners, with Gustafson Guthrie Nichol handling the extensive landscaping design which includes common terraces and gardens at multiple levels.
New to the market in December is Unit #411 with an asking price of $1,500,000. This two-bedroom, two-bath corner residence with a spacious 1,452 square foot layout features open living spaces, a gourmet kitchen that fits seamlessly against one wall, and a private balcony. The primary bedroom is ensuite with a spa bath and a dressing area. The second bedroom is also ensuite and can also be used as flex space such as a work-from-home office or media room.
Still available after listing in November is Unit #901/902 with an asking price of $3,745,000. One of the largest residences at City Center, this 2,816 square foot property is the result of merging two side-by-side units into one custom showcase. The result is four bedrooms and 3.5 baths along with an incredible chef’s kitchen, a work-from-home office, two outdoor spaces including a large two-level landscaped terrace with a putting green, and a walk-in temperature controlled wine cellar capable of holding 2,300 bottles.
Offered at $949,900, Unit #903 is a sleek and modern two-bedroom condo with two full baths. The 1,046 square foot floorplan features a huge and open main living, dining and cooking area that includes a glossy white Foster + Partners gourmet kitchen with panelized appliances. A huge wall of full-height windows allows abundant nature light inside, casting a glow upon the ultra-wide white oak floors. Long hanging lamps add to the light-filled ambience.
Unit #502 closed in December, selling for $1,200,000. The two-bedroom corner condo has two full baths and 1,340 square feet of living space. Walls of windows offer cityscape views, and the Euro-style kitchen hugs a single wall with panelized appliances, thus maximizing the open feeling of the living and dining area. The primary bedroom features a large ensuite bathroom with a floating twin-sink vanity and two matching showers. An outdoor balcony is perfect for morning coffee.
Also selling in December was Unit #301 with a closing price of $750,000. The one-bedroom condo with 981 square feet of living space was remodeled by award-winning architect Ernesto Santalla with dark wood floors, custom ceilings, terrific views of City Center’s plazas, and a minimalist Foster + Partners glossy white kitchen that is set into a single wall. One garage parking space is included.
Unit #504/505 was withdrawn from the market in December. The integration of two condos had been listed for $1,585,000. The combined residence includes two bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths. There is a huge main living and dining area, with a glossy white modern kitchen set along the wall as well as a wet bar with a full panelized fridge.
Also withdrawn in December is #516. The chic and modern treetop retreat has most recently been reduced down to $1,099,000 and features two bedroom suites, each with its own spa bath. Other elements include a built-in steam closet, custom closet cabinetry, smart window shades, and a built-in bar with a wine fridge to store 50 of your finest bottles.
Those fortunate enough to live in a condominium at City Center DC will enjoy a panoply of full service amenities including porters, valets, door attendants, concierge service, a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center, a community room with kitchen, a bar lounge, and a rooftop deck with outdoor kitchen. The perks and conveniences also extend beyond the condos themselves, with the outdoor mall’s plaza, 1.5-acre park, and more than 40 upscale retailers and restaurants. Beyond the property is all of downtown DC with its myriad of cultural attractions.
