What "waterfront property" are you talking about? Between I-295 and the Potomac up to the Capitol St is Bolling AFB and the Blue Plains water treatment plant. North of the Capitol St Bridge it's mostly the Anacostia Trail and Park, and on the other shore you have Ft McNair, the Nationals Stadium complex, then Navy Yard, RFK stadium, then more park space. Going up the Potomac you have Georgetown, the Tidal Basin, and Waterfront, which are already developed.
The only way you could open up riverfront property for development would be to relocate the military installations (Bolling, McNair, Navy Yard). Most of the park space is too narrow between I-295 and the river to develop, and developing the park space would require filling in mostly wetlands and marshes.
As far as the 8th Ward goes, it's starting to gentrify. There are a lot of new condos going up, and the new DHS headquarters is moving in by 2015. Anacostia is now at the tipping point that Penns Quarter was back in the mid 90's. Within time the projects like Barry Farms will be razed, and not soon enough...
Luckily for me, you're not my Realtor. Nor do you sound like my compettion. I'll be more than happy for you to keep thinking this. In fact, please forget I ever mentioned anything!

Actually, you obviously thought that not many people were familiar with the DC area. Unfortunately for you, there are some folks here who are familiar with DC and could call you on your BS.
Just got off the phone with the realtor who will handle my $200K purchase of 1.67 acres in 20906 area code. Yes, that's a bargain in this area in this economy.
Silver Spring...home of the MS-13s?? LOL...I'd be more impressed if you had listed a Chevy Chase, Bethesda location. You picked the wrong MoCo neighborhood to brag about.

I tell ya.....it's mindboggling how many people think they know something when in fact they know nothing. And then people like me have to come along and clean up the scraps.
Who do you think is slobbering over this redevelopment project? Ward residents or the actual land brokers and developers?

There you go again...thinking you understand the area. If you knew as much about the area as you think you do...you'd know that the Silver Spring zip code covers more than Silver Spring. I know ...I know....that's more than you can comprehend. But look into it. You might actually learn something today.
I bet you also knew about Science City that is planned to be positioned at the ICC. And what about Kontera? That ring a bell? Those are development projects. What do you think property values are about to do? Guess what zip code that falls under?

LOL; Sorry, try again. 20906 is Silver Spring. That is NOT a sought-after area. Try Chevy Chase, Bethesda and certain areas of Rockville. Also try the Palisades, Chevy Chase, Mount Pleasant, Georgetown and Spring Valley neighborhoods in DC. Otherwise, trek out to Vienna and/or McLean in Virginia.

Outside of the housing developments in the I Street area of SW, and Southeastern University, there are no housing developments near the waterfront in SW. I'm well familiar with that area because I lived there. The area along the waterfront is mainly made up of restaurants, the wharf, Jefferson Junior High and buildings that don't seem to have much purpose.
There is a revitalization effort in place, but that area used to be a poorly constructed park and a useless indoor mall that surrounded the Waterfront Metro stop. NONE of it was housing developments. Sorry, try again.

No one is impressed with your bragging.
You have absolutely no freaking clue what you're talking about.
PS...I own land in several of those locales as well. Your mindless blathering is pitiful.

LOL; sure. It's painfully obvious who doesn't know what in this exchange.
