I think the title is self explanatory, will Washington's waterfront rival Baltimore's waterfront when it is completed in 2018? Or will it just become a smaller version and the Inner Harbor will continue to dominate?
DC is not in competition with Baltimore. The Inner Harbor at Baltimore is the centerpiece of their downtown, in DC the waterfront is a sidebar. The waterfront in SE & SW as opposed to the waterfront in Georgetown will continue to develop, but it will not become the focus of the city. That is the Mall.
Baltimore will always have a better maritime area than DC. Canton, Fells Point, Harbor East, Harbor Point, Inner Harbor, Federal Hill, Locust Point, Ft. McHenry, and Curtis Bay collectively destroy anything in DC as they all border the harbor. Baltimore is a port city and has the advantage of being built directly off the bay and it's harbor grew organically and is hundreds of years older. DC will develop a cookie cutter river front that will be pale and dry in comparison. Not bashing DC but it is what it is. It will never compete with Baltimore, Boston, San Fran, Brooklyn, Miami, or even Savannah GA for that matter when it comes to anything with water.
Like I've said in the past, my cousin works in a restaurant down on the inner harbor & she has said that several stores & restaurants there are worried about the several DC waterfront projects because they think that the people from the DC metro will stop driving to the Baltimore waterfront once they have a waterfront in DC
