Burnham Place will demonstrate the vision and ability of the nation’s capital to execute on a technically and economically ambitious project matched by few other cities around the world. The project will offer a host of features including:

• Transformation of an existing rail yard and overpass into a thriving commercial neighborhood
• Creation of a grand plaza along H Street at the foot of a magnificent Train Hall, and an elevated “greenway” for walking, running, and biking which will provide a direct connection into the NoMa neighborhood
• Multiple new pedestrian connections to and from the adjoining neighborhoods
• Design with great sensitivity to historic resources and assets
• Coordination of planning with all stakeholders and multiple reviews at the local and federal levels
