THE STACKS WELCOMES RESIDENTS AT THE BYRON, THE NEIGHBORHOOD’S FIRST RESIDENTIAL OFFERING
Spanning 14 Stories with Expansive Waterfront Views, The Byron Brings 384 Modern Apartment Units to DC’s Buzzard Point
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Akridge and National Real Estate Development (“National Development”) announce move-ins for The Byron, the first residential offering within The Stacks’ nearly 6-acre community. Located in the growing Buzzard Point neighborhood, this elegant yet bold residence provides a well-crafted living experience with airy interiors, curated community amenities including a 10,000-square-foot FLEX gym, sweeping waterfront views of DC, Maryland and Virginia, and an unparalleled location near Audi Field and Nationals Park.
The Byron offers a unique and activated living experience with 384 modern units across 14 stories, ranging from studios to 3-bedrooms. Located at the intersection of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, The Stacks effortlessly combines the beauty of nature with the convenience of urban living. The dynamic, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood offers a strong sense of community, featuring ample outdoor spaces for events, al fresco dining and peaceful retreats for relaxation.
“The Byron’s first move-ins are an exciting milestone for The Stacks and Buzzard Point,” said Adam Gooch, Director of Development and Senior Vice President for Akridge. “As the first residential offering, The Byron connects residents to the vibrant cultural, dining, and recreational amenities of the Southwest Waterfront while setting the stage for future developments in this bold, walkable community.”
“The Stacks is reshaping waterfront living and is poised to become an exciting new destination for both residents and visitors with its close proximity to iconic D.C. landmarks,” said Katie Hartley, Director of Development at National Development. “The Stacks was meticulously crafted by a curated team of architects and designers to honor Buzzard Point’s rich history while embracing its future. We’re thrilled to see this vision become a reality and look forward to unveiling two additional residences in Spring 2025.”
The Byron is defined by sophisticated design and thoughtfully selected materials that cultivate an atmosphere of comfort and ease. Textured brick and trailing ivy frame the building’s striking facade, setting the tone for interiors that embrace contrast with elegantly edgy features. Maisonette units line the Passage, a pedestrian-only cobblestone street that seamlessly links these homes to the heart of The Stacks. With spacious layouts that redefine everyday living, the residences feature multifunctional islands with pendant lighting, a keyless entry system and premium finishes such as oak-inspired flooring and gray stone countertops. Stainless steel appliances and modern plumbing fixtures offer a blend of style and functionality.
With over 23,000 square feet of lobby and amenity space, The Byron enhances the everyday living experience. Key amenity spaces include:
- Recently announced 10,000-square-foot FLEX gym – the first public fitness center in Buzzard Point – which offers a cold plunge, sauna, recovery room and outdoor workout spaces. Residents receive complimentary memberships to FLEX, providing easy access to a premier fitness experience.
- On the penthouse level, residents can enjoy a multisports simulator, sleek coworking and lounge areas, a game room with billiards, and indoor and outdoor terraces with firepits.
- Additional conveniences include a bike room with resident storage, automated secure package lockers, EV charging stations and hospitality services like dry cleaning and pickup.
The Stacks’ first phase, delivering in early 2025, will include an impressive array of shared amenities spanning over 40,000 square feet across all three residential buildings. At full build-out, these amenities include two rooftop pools – one of which is lap length – that boast sweeping panoramic views, as well as a pet spa featuring professional-grade washing and drying equipment. Elevated gathering spaces, such as a penthouse-level rentable kitchen, a landscaped serenity garden, a TV lounge with an adjoining terrace and a chef’s catering kitchen, provide the perfect setting for entertaining guests. Additional conveniences include an on-site resident market set to open in mid-2025, a Capital Bikeshare station and a bike maintenance station, all thoughtfully designed to enhance daily living.
At full buildout, The Stacks will feature 2 million square feet of mixed-use space, including apartments, retail, hotel, office, extensive square feet of open space and a curated selection of shops and restaurants. Sitting at the convergence of the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, The Stacks offers a distinctive connection between D.C.’s most exciting riverfront areas like The Wharf and The Yards. The Stacks is a vibrant hub for sports fans and athletes alike, emerging as the heart of DC’s sports scene. Anchored by the Corso, a pedestrian-only street at the center of the neighborhood, The Stacks seamlessly integrates retail with public plazas, community spaces and residences to create a lively environment where residents and visitors can live, dine, work, explore and connect. The Stacks is jointly owned by Akridge, Bridge Investment Group (“Bridge”), Blue Coast Capital (“BCCAP”), and institutional funds managed by National Real Estate Advisors (“National”).
