Burnham Place will create a new neighborhood that will fill a gap in the urban fabric of Washington, DC. The proposed three-million-square-foot development will be built above Union Station's rail yard, providing direct access into a newly expanded and improved station facility.
Plans for Burnham Place represent the most economically catalytic project for the National Capital Region for decades to come, and will provide a new commercial center atop a multi-modal station with monumental architecture and triple its existing passenger capacity.
The development will feature a mix of first-class office, residential, retail, and hotel space, as well as parks and plazas. The award-winning 2012 vision matches the quality of the original, acclaimed station design by architect Daniel Burnham and ensures that Union Station continues to be a worthy gateway to the nation's capital.
