Waterfront Tower is Big News in Southwest D.C.

“There’s good news on the housing front….one place business is booming is at Waterfront Tower in SW DC,” says a new video on Fox News 5.

Marc Duber of the Bernstein Companies, the developer of Waterfront Tower, was quoted on the Fox Channel 5 News as saying that these New Condominiums in Southwest DC have been selling at a record pace due in part to the Federal housing tax credit, as well as to the fact that so many new amenities and services have opened in the immediate area, including Safeway and the new Arena Stage theatre.

And it doesn’t hurt that the Waterfront Tower building is historic—designed by world-renowned architect I.M. Pei, and now redesigned with the perfect Southwest lifestyle in mind. “There’s a lot of exciting things going on,” said Duber.

With prices starting in the low $200s, and with an $8,000 tax credit, many buyers at Waterfront Tower have had their down payments covered by the credit. And remember, the tax credit isn't limited to just first time homebuyers—longtime homeowners can get a $6,500 tax credit as well. But you must act soon—the credit expires on FRIDAY, APRIL 30^TH, 2010.

Artistic Director Molly Smith is eager to show off the new facility and bring award-winning artists to the city of Washington, D.C. Widely credited as one of the leading centers of American Theater, the new Arena Stage location is just three blocks from Waterfront Tower, your window to the Arts.

The New Mead Center Features:

• State-of-the-art Technology and Modern Amenities

“The building is absolutely stunning. It is a magnificent and important piece of architecture that contributes greatly to the cultural landscape of Washington. It is one the best designed buildings in D.C. in the last decade.”—Zelda Fichandler, Founding Director, Arena Stage

PEI for LESS at Waterfront Tower

Waterfront Tower was designed by one of the most influential architects of the 20^th century, I. M. Pei. Widely considered a master of modern architecture, Chinese-born American Pei spent his formative years in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and taught himself English by reading the Bible and novels by Charles Dickens before immigrating to the United States.

Perhaps best known for his glass and steel pyramid entrance to the Louvre Museum in Paris, Mr. Pei’s work also includes a vast portfolio of banks, symphony centers, the United States National Gallery East Museum, Dallas City Hall, and the John F. Kennedy Library, among many classic residential buildings throughout the United States and Europe.

His modernist vision is studied at architecture schools around the globe, and has now influenced generations of young architects to consider not only style and materials, but also the community that the building will serve when designing new homes and other spaces. Pei has been quoted as saying “The important thing, really, is the community. How does it affect life?" He has also received the Pritzker Award, the highest recognition the world’s architecture community can bestow, with the award’s jurists saying that Pei’s skill “approaches the level of poetry.”

Waterfront Tower is proud of our heritage and our association with this esteemed world architectural master. When you visit in person, you’ll see for yourself how Pei’s modernist style was used to create a residential gem. A master of producing highly efficient living spaces, Pei blended an abundance of light in every room with tall ceilings to give the feeling of grander rooms.. When the building was redesigned and renovated, his original plans were faithfully maintained

We invite you to see Waterfront Tower yourself to discover the enduring style and splendor of our landmark building. And you can click here to read more about the incredible life and career of this living architectural legend.

Amplify Your Style for Less with Waterfront Tower

Waterfront Tower style doesn’t mean breaking the bank. Using your own sense of fashion, and some smart decorating tips, your new home at Waterfront Tower can reflect who you really are and look truly brilliant—without having to spend a fortune. With the world renowned architect IM Pei and a beautiful light-filled renovation, you will have a great starting point.

Here are some “Interior Design for Less” tips from do-it-yourself style masters HGTV and iVillage:

“Use home accessories as an extension of your personal style by accessorizing your home the way you'd accessorize your clothes. Add a splash of unexpected color, texture or embellishment —a beaded lampshade or embroidered throw pillow, for example.”

“Let the sun shine in. Strategic placement of a mirror can add an enormous amount of natural light in your home. If possible, hang a large mirror in the living room directly where the sun beams in. In addition to bouncing light, it creates virtual space and overall appeal to a small room.”

“Visualize the room as a photograph and try to determine which area would look the most empty in a flat view. An even distribution of color, accessories and furniture keeps a comfortable eye line around a room.”

“Combine pillow sizes and shapes for more interest, and trying oversized floor cushions, which add a punch of color and serve as impromptu casual seating.”
