What We're Up To
The New Washington, DC Marriott Marquis Headquarters Hotel
Our success story continues to evolve with a new headquarters hotel. When completed, the new 1,167 room hotel will fuse the world-class services and amenities of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center with the urban sophistication of a four-star Marriott hotel.
The $537 million, four-star hotel will be one of only three Marriott Marquis properties in the country and located across the street from the Convention Center at the northwest corner of 9th Street and Massachusetts Avenue, NW. The developer will be Quadrangle Development Corporation, an established Washington, DC-based firm with a successful history in commercial real estate development, including hotels. Their locally-based minority partner is Capstone Development, LLC, whose principal has a long history in hotel development.
The Marriott Marquis also promises to make its mark on the local economy by creating new jobs for DC residents, who will make up 51 percent of the hotel's work force. Keeping with DC's "green" building standards, the hotel will be developed with environmental responsibility in mind.
This headquarters hotel construction is also expected to spur other redevelopment projects for the continued economic revitalization of the historic Shaw neighborhood, which the Convention Center calls home.
