Minutes from Washington, D.C.’s global centers of commerce, power, media, science, and research, St Elizabeths East is an exceptional opportunity to create a landmark for the 21st century.

The approximately 180-acre site provides unparalleled proximity and connectivity to one of the world’s strongest real estate markets and regional economies in an environment that is serene and bucolic yet urbane, walkable, and transit-oriented. Its historic buildings are stately and sophisticated, and harken back to an era of architectural integrity and building skills from generations past.

But St Elizabeths East is more than just a beautiful place – it is a once-in-a-generation investment opportunity.

For the past two years the District has been diligently developing a physical redevelopment plan and complementary economic development strategy to guide the revitalization of St Elizabeths East. While the planned consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and eventual location of over 14,000 employees on the West Campus – directly across MLK Jr. Ave – was the initial impetus for this planning, the redevelopment of St Elizabeths East has become a critical project in realizing the District’s goals of cultivating an innovation-based economy, accelerating job creation, creating a job ladder for all District residents, and fostering a sustainable, resilient economy over the long term.

Through redevelopment the District seeks to accomplish the following:

• Invigorate the site with active uses, including commercial office, research, retail, and residential, in order to:

- Diversify the local and regional economy - Leverage and revitalize the historic campus

• Create a national model for commercialization ecosystems, in order to:

- Encourage businesses in dynamic and innovative sectors to grow in DC

- Promote linkages between existing public, private, and educational entities in a collaborative, mixed-use environment

The portfolio of existing buildings at St Elizabeths East prompts an almost unending array of superlatives. Newcomers to St Elizabeths East are consistently caught unawares by the beauty and scale of the East Campus as they explore the sprawling grounds and stand beside expansive buildings constructed the way they were meant to be built – beautiful, sturdy, meaningful, and artistic.

The Maple and CT Campuses are envisioned as an Innovation Hub, an integrated center of research, education, training, entrepreneurship, technology transfer, and commercialization tied to the security, energy, and sustainability sectors. The hub will leverage proximity to DHS on the West Campus and diversify the city’s economy by linking to regional business, research, and employment opportunities in the innovation sector.

Regional intellectual, Federal, and venture capital are all in need of a quality physical place that is internationally competitive with best-in-class environs where late-stage research and commercialization are underway in modern, urban, walkable places. This is a region with tremendous innovation, tremendous capital, and a tremendous opportunity for the two to come together in a singular place where great minds can collaborate and innovate.

What makes St Elizabeths East so compelling is not merely its location or underlying real estate fundamentals, but the fact that its physical configuration, land planning, and supporting infrastructure make it ideally suited to fill an economic void in the city, the region, and the nation.
