Here, you can walk out of a sleek apartment, and hop into a kayak. Enjoy rooftop yoga, before diving into a modern infinity edge pool. From nine stories up, watch the line where river touches sky and the first base line in Nats Park. Enjoy a quiet breakfast overlooking the water from your wrap-around terrace, before meeting friends for lunch at a chic eatery, just an elevator ride away. Step out of a stylish lobby, right into a beach volleyball game or onto a lush, green hiking trail.
This is the new way to live urban. This is the Docks. Dock 79 is 100% inspired by a rugged, yet refined, nautical spirit.
Welcome to your DC riverfront.
