THE YARDS IMPROVEMENTS
Fort Myer had the opportunity to partner with Forest City Realty Trust in the revamping of The Yards, a 5.5-million-square-foot development to include 2,700 apartment homes, 1.8 million square feet of office space and 300,000 square feet of retail, and restaurants. Fort Myer was responsible for all landscaping/hardscape along M Street and 1st Street; and New Jersey Avenue and N Street. Constructed a new lighted parking area, internal park area hardscapes and landscaping; street lighting, bio retention facilities to capture water runoff and bio retention basins at the planting beds.
