Investor opportunity in the heart of DC’s booming Southwest Waterfront: 81 Q St SW is a vacant two-unit, separately metered multi-family property zoned CG-4 (Capitol Gateway), offering strong development potential and prime location advantages. Sold strictly as-is, this 1,120 sq ft brick building sits just steps from Nationals Park, Audi Field, the Cambria Hotel, and The Wharf—DC’s premier $3.6B waterfront entertainment district. The CG-4 zoning allows mixed-use development including multi-family residential, ground-floor retail, offices, and service uses, with a maximum height of approximately 65 feet, making it ideal for urban infill, redevelopment, or value-add strategies. Located within walking distance to Navy Yard and Waterfront Metro stations, water taxi access, and surrounded by new restaurants, shops, and hotels, this property offers significant upside for investors, developers, or owner-occupants seeking income and long-term appreciation in one of the city’s most vibrant and fast-growing corridors.
