From a press release:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) announced that the District has selected Therme Group’s proposal to bring a new, dynamic use to Poplar Point in Ward 8: Therme DC. Under the proposal, Therme Group would develop 15 of Poplar Point’s 110 acres into a state-of-the-art health and wellbeing destination that would deliver a unique experience and spur economic growth along the waterfront. A global leader in urban wellbeing, the facility would offer affordable and accessible amenities never seen before in North America, including thermal baths, dozens of saunas and wet rooms, thermal and mineral pools, exhilarating waterslides, relaxation beds, immersive art, a wide variety of restaurants and an abundance of plants and trees.
“We know that Therme DC is a great fit for Poplar Point. Not only will it create jobs and opportunity, it will serve as a catalyst for economic growth along the Anacostia waterfront in Ward 8,” said Mayor Bowser. “This is a unique opportunity for DC and an economic driver for Ward 8—creating jobs, attracting visitors and delivering new opportunities for our residents.”
Viewed as one of the last significant waterfront development opportunities on the East Coast, Poplar Point is a 110-acre site that has remained undeveloped for decades. With the arrival of Therme DC, the site is expected to include a 70-acre riverfront park and trail system and 25-acres for mixed-use development. Anchoring Poplar Point’s transformation into a shared space for the community, Therme DC will be a powerful engine for economic growth in Ward 8 and surrounding neighborhoods.
The Therme DC project is estimated to generate: (more…)
