Therme Group has selected to develop a destination redevelopment of Poplar Point’s 110 acres on the Anacostia waterfront in D.C.
Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development announced that Therme Group’s proposal was selected. The project will develop 15 of Poplar Point’s 110 acres into a state-of-the-art health and wellbeing destination that would deliver a unique experience and spur economic growth along the waterfront.
The facility would offer amenities, including thermal baths, saunas and wet rooms, thermal and mineral pools, waterslides, relaxation beds, immersive art, restaurants and green spaces. The project is estimated to generate 720 permanent jobs upon completion, $1.5 billion in tax revenue over 25 years and will create 5,000 local construction jobs during development.
“We know that Therme DC is a great fit for Poplar Point. Not only will it create jobs and opportunity, it will serve as a catalyst for economic growth along the Anacostia waterfront in Ward 8,” said Mayor Bowser.
