The acquisition is the biggest step to date in redeveloping the site, at 2100 Second St. SW., into Riverpoint, a residential, retail and restaurant development.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Western Development and Akridge, the development group includes Orr Partners, Redbrick LMD LLC and Jefferson Apartment Group. EagleBank and Greenfield Partners provided financing for the project.<\/p>\n<p>Riverpoint reportedly will feature 80,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space and more than 450 apartment and condominium units, along with new piers, floating restaurants and a connection to the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail.<\/p>\n<p>Orr Partners and Jefferson Apartment Group will co-develop the property, and Western will lead the development and leasing of the project\u2019s retail and waterfront portions. Redbrick sourced, capitalized and structured the transaction.<\/p>\n<p>(The Coast Guard vacated the Buzzard Point building during its move to a new 1.2 million-square-foot headquarters, which opened in 2013 on the St. Elizabeths Hospital west campus.)<\/p>\n<p>Akridge did not respond to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\">Commercial Property Executive<\/a><\/em>\u2019s request for additional information.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Washington Business Journal<\/em> reported that the Riverfront development consortium paid $49.3 million for the former Coast Guard building.<\/p>\n<p>Western and Akridge last partnered on Gallery Place, a 1 million-square-foot project in D.C.\u2019s Seventh Street neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>The Riverfront project is only a short distance south of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/new-dc-united-stadium-to-open-in-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\">new $300 million, 19,000-seat stadium<\/a> now under construction and due in 2017, for the D.C.
