RiverPoint, the 480-unit apartment building carved from the former U.S. Coast Guard headquarters on Buzzard Point, is expected to debut in October with 75% of the residences featuring water views.
Akridge, Western Development and Orr Partners, the team behind the project, will open leasing Tuesday as they enter the home stretch of construction. The trio, called RiverPoint Partners, acquired the property at 2100 Second St. SW in August 2016 for $49.3 million and soon after announced plans to repurpose the 609,265-square-foot office building as mixed-use. The property’s new address is 2121 First St. SW.
The Coast Guard left what was then called the Transpoint building for the St. Elizabeths West campus in 2013. In the years since, Buzzard Point development activity has ballooned with the construction of Audi Field, Douglas Development’s 450-unit 1900 Half St. SW and Capital City Real Estate’s Peninsula 88 condos, among other projects.
