4 ABOUT THE CAPITOL RIVERFRONT The Capitol Riverfront, The Front, is DC s new neighborhood on the river, a growing district-within-the-district that extends the city s skyline to the water s edge. Located just five blocks south of the U.S. Capitol building, the Front offers the best in city living with the extraordinary advantages of a riverfront setting; a distinct maritime and industrial heritage; and access to what matters: unique parks and riverwalk trails, sports and entertainment, exceptional value, and proximity to Capitol Hill. In the Front, DC s businesses and residents are part of a oncein-a-generation opportunity to shape a new community on the river in one of the largest riverfront redevelopment projects in the U.S. The Front encompasses an area of approximately 500 acres located between the U.S. Capitol building and the Anacostia River. The Capitol Riverfront is already home to a daytime employment population of 35,000 people in 6.5 million SF of office including the U.S. Navy Yard and U.S. Department of Transportation, 2,500 residents, the 200-room Marriott hotel, Diamond Teague Park and Piers, and the 41,000-seat Nationals Park. Upon build-out over 60% of the area will have been demolished and rebuilt with new office, residential, retail, hotels and parks. 2 The Capitol Riverfront BID serves as the management entity for this area and is governed by a board of directors composed of twenty-one (21) voting members that pay the BID tax, and seven (7) at-large, non-voting community stakeholders that are BID tax exempt. Our FY09 operating budget was approximately $1.5 million and is funded through a special tax that owners vote upon themselves. Our organization is staffed by four (4) full-time professionals and nine (9) full-time Clean and Safe Team members.

5 In FY09, the Capitol Riverfront BID provided the following services: Clean Teams and Hospitality Ambassadors every Monday through Saturday Public realm improvements Economic development and business attraction efforts Transportation analysis and coordination Marketing, branding and public relations initiatives Community building events and activities Advocacy and educational outreach The mission of the Capitol Riverfront BID is to provide management services that assist in creating a neighborhood that is clean, safe, and friendly, as well as vibrant, fresh, progressive, and surprising. The BID supports the development of the Front as a new mixeduse riverfront community in Washington, DC. A view of The Yards from the river WHERE IS THE FRONT? The Front encompasses an area of approximately 500 acres located between the U.S. Capitol building and the Anacostia River. Upon build-out over 60% of the area will have been demolished and rebuilt with new office, residential, retail, and hotel uses.

6 LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The impacts of the recession have certainly been felt nationally, in Washington, DC and in the Capitol Riverfront. However, for all the bad economic news and challenges, the Capitol Riverfront BID and our stakeholders have partnered to keep moving numerous projects forward and to continue to position the Front for the next wave of development opportunities. In 2009, the Capitol Riverfront embarked on an extensive branding process. The outcomes of the 8-month process included the development of the new Capitol Riverfront logo, the Be Out Front campaign, and a style guide to influence the look and feel of BID materials. In addition, the brand campaign helped us develop succinct messaging about the Front s competitive advantages in the marketplace. Every aspect of the BID s work from the redesign of the website to the hanging of new banners and the content of public presentations to promotion of events has been impacted by the new brand. The Front s brand campaign has been well received and has proved highly effective in promoting the neighborhood. Even though the development dynamic of our city slowed, the BID continues to help effect forward momentum in the Capitol Riverfront. This past year the BID focused resources on creating the highest quality public realm and maintaining it at the highest level; programming events and activities that help create destination and place; laying the groundwork for business attraction and advocating for incentives that can stimulate the marketplace; and building a strong urban neighborhood with a sense of community among residents, employees and visitors. The two largest successes of 2009 were the development of the Front s residential community and the forward progress on three of the Front s parks. The Front s residential development has moved forward at a rapid pace with over 2,400 residential units completed and over 70% now occupied. Over 2,500 residents now call the Front home and the number of residents is anticipated to top 3,000 in In addition, Diamond Teague Park and Piers opened in July 2009; construction began on the 5.5-acre Riverfront Park, keeping it 4

7 on schedule to open in July 2010; and the 3-acre Canal Park site is cleared of school buses, has completed a redesign, and will start construction in 2010 to open in The BID will continue to promote and brand the Front s three defining characteristics and competitive advantages: 1) At the Forefront the neighborhood is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create and enjoy a new community on the river; 2) Riverfront here is an opportunity to create a vital riverfront on the Anacostia for current and future generations; and 3) Front and Center the Capitol Riverfront provides an opportunity to be a part of the neighborhood that has access to everything from the river, to Capitol Hill, downtown and the region. Much was accomplished this year but much work remains to be done. The Capitol Riverfront BID is committed to being the management entity, advocate and change agent in this exciting neighborhood as the Front continues to grow and evolve, as issues and opportunities emerge, and as more residents, employees and visitors come to our neighborhood. We look forward to partnering with you over the coming years in achieving the vision of a new district-within-the-district on the Anacostia River a new community that we think will be the centerpiece of Washington s riverfront renaissance. We hope that you enjoy this annual report update on the 2009 activities, accomplishments and developments of the Capitol Riverfront BID. Eric Siegel CHAIRMAN, CAPITOL RIVERFRONT BID Michael Stevens, AICP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CAPITOL RIVERFRONT BID 5

8 Clean Team & Hospitality Ambassadors The Capitol Riverfront BID s Clean Team maintains the day-to-day cleanliness and appearance of the neighborhood while the BID s Hospitality Ambassadors are stationed near the Metro exits to greet passersby, answer questions and monitor activity on the street. The Clean Team and Hospitality Ambassadors create an attractive and welcoming environment in the Capitol Riverfront. 6

9 In FY09, the BID increased Clean Team and Hospitality Ambassador service hours until 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and added Saturday service from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The BID also leveraged resources through a contract with the DC Department of Employment Services (DOES) that doubled, at no cost to the BID, the size of our clean team. The twelve Clean Team members pick up litter and empty trash cans, mow the grass on the future site of Canal Park, water flowers in the landscape planters, rake leaves and clear snow, remove handbills/graffiti, respond to illegal dumping, and support community events. The two Hospitality Ambassadors greet passersby, answer questions and provide directions, and actively monitor activities on the streets. The crew members carry Nextel radios to communicate with the supervisor and fill out daily reports of work tasks and happenings in the neighborhood. The Clean Team increased the number of bags of trash collected from 3,600 bags in FY08 to 7,526 bags in FY09 and the number of hospitality ambassador assists increased from approximately 9,100 assists in FY08 to 9,400 assists in FY09. The Capitol Riverfront perception survey shows that more respondents felt positively about the neighborhood s cleanliness and safety compared to last year s survey. This year the perception survey shows 84.7% of respondents think the BID is clean or very clean (compared with 58.4% last year) and 56.5% perceive the BID is safe or very safe (compared with 44.9% last year).

10 PUBLIC REALM The BID works to improve the public realm in order to create a clean, high-quality and unified look and feel in the Front. This year the BID installed banners, trashcan plates and gateway signage that showcased the new Capitol Riverfront logo and incorporated the new Be Out Front brand campaign. 8

11 During the holiday season the BID installed lighted snowflakes. The new decorative light pole banners add bright blue, orange, and green colors along the main transit corridors throughout the BID, while the fence wrap panels add a welcoming entrance to the Front at New Jersey Ave, SE and 8th St, SE. During the winter holiday season, the BID installed 30 lighted snowflakes along M St, SE, New Jersey Ave, SE, and 8th Street, SE in order to create a more warm and festive winter atmosphere. In addition, this summer the BID installed 21 large stone planters along M Street, SE and planted them with rose bushes, colorful mums, and high grasses. The planters provide visual continuity and color to the street and will be maintained with winter and spring plantings. Stone planters help to provide visual continuity and color to the street. In the year that we have lived in the Capitol Riverfront, we have seen improved cleanliness and greatly increased walking traffic which is terrific!

12 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The Capitol Riverfront BID emphasizes economic development as one of its core work programs. The BID partners with property owners, the District Government and other entities to facilitate economic development activities in the Capitol Riverfront including business attraction; transportation and access planning; research and information; and development of the public parks. 10

13 Business Attraction The BID collaborates with property owners and brokers to give presentations and tours to numerous office tenant and retail prospects. The BID also hosts a number of business events for brokers and other key stakeholders to continue to update them on the development and opportunities in the Capitol Riverfront. The BID was a sponsor of the Washington, DC, booth at the International Council of Shopping Centers convention in Las Vegas and has an ongoing effort with the Washington, DC Economic Partnership to recruit retailers to the Front. During the course of the past year the BID has made over 100 presentations to brokers, office and retail tenants, and other potential investors. The BID offices also serve as a marketing center for the entire neighborhood and meeting place for office, retail and residential prospects. The BID sponsored Washington, DC s booth at the national ICSC convention. Capitol Riverfront office buildings offer phenomenal views of the DC skyline including the Capitol dome and Washington Monument. Transportation AND Access Planning The Capitol Riverfront BID worked closely with DC Surface Transit and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) to launch a new Circulator route connecting the Union Station Metro Station and the Navy Yard Metro Station. The Circulator is a unique and high-quality bus service that provides an express route with limited stops, arrives every ten minutes or less, and costs only one dollar. The Circulator service runs Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., with extended hours on ballgame days. During its first six full months of operation from April 2009 to September 2009, the Navy Yard-Union Station Circulator route has averaged about 31,900 riders per month. 11 The Circulator connects the Front to Union Station. The BID also worked with the DC Commission on Fine Arts and DDOT to install five artistic bike racks in the public realm and partnered with the Nationals on the first Bike to Work Day Pit Stop at Nationals Park featuring entertainment, food, drinks, and raffles. The BID also sponsored the DDOT M Street, SE bike lane study. The BID continues to work with DDOT on the plans for the Riverwalk Trail and the 11th Street and Fredrick Douglass Bridge projects.

14 Parsons Engineering moved into its 80,000 SF headquarters in January of The BID research serves as a platform for external attraction activities and is available in many forms on our website, including an interactive map. Interactive maps, downloadable data and resources are available online at Research and Information The BID s research and data gathering efforts include summaries on the status of projects; absorption analysis; office lease comparables and residential rent/sales analyses; type and value of public and private investments; Metro ridership statistics; and neighborhood demographics. The BID office produces reports, brochures, maps and graphs illustrating many of these data sets and development summaries. In addition to the general neighborhood marketing brochure, in FY09 the BID produced a retail-specific brochure and tear sheets for the office, residential, retail, and park submarkets. The BID research serves as a platform for external attraction activities and is available on our website in the interactive map and as downloadable documents and maps. The Capitol Riverfront BID also partnered with several other DC BIDs and government agencies to conduct original research for the Nonprofit Real Estate Trends study and the Cost of Doing Business in DC study. 12

15 Groundbreaking at The Yards Riverfront Park, May 2009 Public Parks The BID has been a strong advocate for the construction of the four new public parks in the Front: Diamond Teague Park, Canal Park, The Yards Riverfront Park, and Tingey Plaza. These four parks distinguish the Front and are part of the Front s competitive advantage in the market. The BID has been involved in writing of legislation for the BID to assume responsibility for the maintenance and programming of the Yards Park when it opens summer The BID has also worked with the Canal Park Development Association on the redesign of Canal Park to make it a more userfriendly and active neighborhood park. The BID sees these parks as a unique opportunity to build community, identity and sense of place while marketing them as assets in our business and residential attraction efforts. Forest City Washington s The Yards Riverfront Park Canal Park is targeted to deliver in The parks are a unique opportunity to build community, identity and sense of place. 13

16 BRANDING, MARKETING & PUBLIC RELATIONS The Capitol Riverfront BID focuses on marketing and promoting the neighborhood and its development while branding the Front as the new district-within-the-district on the river. In FY09, the BID completed an eight-month branding process that resulted in the development of a new logo and graphic identity, shortening of the Capitol Riverfront name to the Front, creation of messaging platforms and implementation of a Be Out Front marketing campaign. 14

17 Presentations, Trade Shows and Conferences The BID office on the 10th floor of 1100 New Jersey Ave, SE with the scale model of development along the Anacostia River serves as a marketing center and showroom where property owners and brokers bring prospective tenants and retailers to learn about the Front. The BID staff also attends and often presents at tradeshows and conferences to educate people about and to promote the Capitol Riverfront. This past year the BID participated in the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) conferences in Las Vegas, New York, and in DC, the GWCAR REAL Tour, GSA Customer Connections, GSA First Friday, the WDCEP Annual Showcase, ULI Urban Marketplace and more. Electronic and Print Marketing The BID redesigned the website with fresh colors and photography to incorporate its new brand and better promote the Front. The website redesign also makes it easier for website visitors to find information. The total individual website sessions increased from 63,063 sessions in FY08 to 125,482 sessions in FY09, and the average individual sessions per month increased from 5,255 sessions per month in FY08 to 10,457 sessions per month in FY09.

Media and Video Promotion The Capitol Riverfront was in the press over 120 times in FY09, compared to 115 times in FY08. In addition to articles in newspapers, magazines, and blogs, the Front expanded its presence in television media with several News Channel 8 interviews and in radio media with features on WTOP and WAMU. The BID also worked with several property owners to publish a 20-page advertising supplement in the Washington Business Journal s On-Site Magazine. Lastly, the BID produced a 30-second video that was shown on the Jumbotron screen before every Nationals home game and a 3-minute video that provides a more extensive overview of the Front s development dynamic, transportation access, and events. Both videos are available on the BID s website. 15

18 FRONT ROW EVENTS The Capitol Riverfront produces special events in order to build and foster a sense of community among residents and employees, attract new visitors to the neighborhood, and activate open spaces.

28 FRONT OFFICE: OFFICE Despite no new office buildings breaking ground in 2009 due to an excess supply of regional office space, there was significant development and leasing activity in the Capitol Riverfront office submarket. The signed leases in the Capitol Riverfront comprised nonprofits, government agencies, and private sector tenants. The buildout of established downtown markets, when combined with the city s height restriction and federal government presence, will continue to push development into emerging office submarkets such as the Capitol Riverfront. The Front offers tenants LEED-certified Class A space with full service rents $15 20 PSF lower than downtown submarkets Office Development Highlights The Coast Guard renewed its 592,000 SF lease at nd St, SW for 10 years. Parsons Engineering moved into its new 80,000 SF headquarters at 100 M Street, SE. The Bureau of Land Management signed a 94,435 SF lease at 20 M Street, SE. One office building was completed in 2009, totaling 275,000 SF of office space, 15,000 SF of retail space and $100 million. Sayres & Associates signed a 20,000 SF lease at 55 M Street, SE. Other 2009 leases include Battelle and the Owner Operated Independent Drivers Association.
