Insider’s View of The Collective

Before it was one of DC’s most coveted addresses, The Collective was a surface parking lot, trash transfer site and horse stable in a once-historic, but abandoned industrial area.

Enter WC Smith. A long-term Washington developer who saw the potential in the area and embarked on a place-making project that would create a Whole Foods-anchored, transit-oriented development that helped spark the revival of the Navy Yard neighborhood.

When originally developed, The Collective boasted the largest amenities collection (100,000 sq ft) on the East Coast. All three phases of the property won “fastest pace lease up” in DC and they retain 70%+ of their residents.
