‘Teams’ to Develop Ballpark Area – The Post
The Anacostia Waterfront Corp. ditched plans to have one master developer and is spreading it out over a few firms to reduce the risk of cost overruns.
The broad outlines of the project became clear in the announcement that Monument Realty LLC of the District would team with the Cordish Co. of Baltimore to develop a roughly 10-acre parcel north of the stadium’s entrance, while a partnership between District-based Western Development and Forest City Enterprises Inc. of Cleveland would be in charge of a parcel half that size to the east of the stadium.
