(the “Boathouse Parcel”)
Size of Property: Approximately 25,000 square feet
Zoning of Property: MU-12
Historic District: Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park ,
Georgetown Historic District, The Potomac Gorge
Ward: 2
1. History of the Property: description of the Property (including approximate square
footage, description of any structure/improvements on the Property and whether
such structure/improvements are historically landmarked, and any available parking
on and off the Property), how and when the District acquired the Property; the terms
of the acquisition; a description of the Property’s former and current use; and, if the

Parcel is currently used by a National Park Service (NPS) seasonal concessionaire, the Key
Bridge Boathouse.
The NPS currently has administrative jurisdiction of Lot 805 from the District of Columbia.
The NPS currently owns Lots 812 and 813 in fee title. The Boathouse Parcel includes a
portion of 35th St NW south of Water Street NW that is to-be closed and is under the Key
Bridge.
The District of Columbia does not currently control the Boathouse Parcel. The District will
acquire the Boathouse Parcel from the NPS through a tri-party land swap and then dispose
of the Boathouse Parcel to Georgetown University.
As part of the tri-party land swap, the District will acquire waterfront property between the
Boathouse Parcel and Georgetown Waterfront Park (Square 1177, Lot 802 and Square
1178, Lots 800- 802) from the NPS (“ East Parcel ”) and Georgetown University (the
“University”) will also donate Part of Parcel 301/1 and 301/2 per Deed recorded in the
Land Records as Instrument No. 8900065661 to the NPS (the “Upriver Parcel”).
2. Describe the surroundin g neighborhood, including the following information: w hat
does the neighborhood offer in terms of housing, shopping, recreation, and
commercial space?
Georgetown Boathouse Surplus Analysis
The Boathouse Parcel is located along the Potomac River in the 3500 block of Water Street
NW, immediately west of and underneath the Key Bridge. The Boathouse Parcel is in the
MU-12 Zone and in the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space category on the Future Land
Use Map of the D istrict of Columbia Comprehensive Plan (the “Comp Plan”). The
Boathouse Parcel is currently occupied by a NPS seasonal concessionaire, the Key Bridge
Boathouse. To the west of the Boathouse Parcel are three low -scale buildings and the
Potomac Boat Club, followed by the remaining abutment of the Aqueduct Bridge, which
marks the end of Water Street NW and the start of the Capital Crescent Trail.
3. No Necessary District Use. D.C. Code § 10-801(a-1)(2)(A).
a. Please describe allowable future uses for the subject property.
The Boathouse Parcel is currently zoned MU -12, which allow s for mixed-use
developments that permit a broad range of commercial, institutional, and multiple
dwelling unit residential development at varying densities. The MU-12 zone is applied
generally in the vicinity of the waterfront and permits moderate-density mixe d-use
development.
b. Square footage of green space on the real property. (As defined by D.C. Code § 10-
801.01(1)).
The Boathouse Parcel currently does not include green space but is rather improved to
permit an NPS concessionaire to use of a portion of the Boathouse Parcel.
c. How were other District facility needs considered? Please explain if the Property has
any viable District use or why the Property has no viable use by the District, including
a description of the District’s current needs for real property, a description of public
uses considered, and a narrative explaining why the real property is unsuitable for
each public use.
The Boathouse Parcel will be acquired from the NPS then disposed of to Georgetown
University for construction of a boathouse with a public paddler float dock. Further, as
part of the tri -party land swap, the District will acquire the East Parcel. Planning for
viable District uses of the East Parcel will commence following its acquisition.
4. Why the determination that the Property is no longer required for public purposes is
in the best interest of the District. D.C. Code § 10-801(a-1)(2)(B).
a. Please describe most viable and reasonable future use(s) for the Property.
The District will acquire the East Parcel as part of the acquisition and disposition of the
Boathouse Parcel to the University. The most viable and reasonable future uses for the
East Parcel will be determined when the planning process for the East Parcel
commences.
Georgetown Boathouse Surplus Analysis
b. Please describe what potential uses of the Property would be in the best interest of
the District (economic, social, educational, provision of affordable housing
potential).
The best use of the Boathouse Parcel is one which aligns with the Environmental
Assessment and the Finding of No Significant Impact. The University will construct a
boathouse on the Boathouse Parcel , which includes a public paddler boat dock, in
furtherance of the EA and FONSI.
5. Public Outreach and Comment. D.C. Code § 10-801(a-1)(2)(C).
a. What specific outreach was d one to solicit community input on the proposed
surplusing of the P roperty, including any outreach conducted in addition to the
public hearing required under D.C. Code § 10-801(a-1)(2)(C)?
The Boathouse has been in the making for many years. During this time, the University
and DMPED have engaged regularly with multiple federal and District agencies.
Among other impacts, the University committed to provide public access for paddler
craft, both on the dedicated public access dock and on the primary dock when not in
use by the University.
The University has engaged regularly with local ANCs and other community
stakeholder groups. This engagement includes not only presentations to ANC 2E and
ANC 3D but also discussions with the Georgetown Community Partnership (“GCP”)
as well as other stakeholders, including the Georgetown Business Improvement
District, the Potomac River Access Coalition, and Georg etown Heritage. Finally, the
University has also discussed the Boathouse with immediate neighbors, including the
Potomac Boat Club, the Washington Canoe Club and other adjacent properties. In
response to feedback from ANC 2E and other stakeholders, the University expanded
the size of the public access dock, coordinated with DDOT regarding the configuration
of Water Street NW, agreed to secure off -site parking for coaches, and developed the
short-term bicycle parking and landscaping plan for the Boathouse parcel.

DISPOSITION ANALYSIS
IN SUPPORT OF DISPOSITION OF REAL PROPERTY
Project Name: Georgetown University Boathouse
Project Address: 3500 Water Street NW, Washington DC
Property Description: Lots 0805, 812 and 813 in Square 1179
(the “Boathouse Parcel”)
Size of Property: Approximately 25,000 square feet
Zoning of Property: MU-12
Historic District: Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park,
Georgetown Historic District, The Potomac Gorge
Ward: 2
Proposed Purchaser: Georgetown University
1. General Description of “Development Plan”:
The proposed Boathouse on the Boathouse Parcel will provide the Georgetown University’s
(the “University”) men’s and women’s rowing programs with dedicated facilities to support
training and education both in and out of the water. The University’s rowing program consists
of four squads comprising well over 100 student-athletes as well as 14 coaches; it is among the
largest university rowing programs in the country and the only program of its size and scale
without a dedicated boathouse.
The lower level of the Boathouse will accommodate storage for a variety of “shells,” including
not only the most common eight-person shells but also smaller three- and four-person shells
as well as single shells. The double-height space will allow for storage racks to accommodate
seven stacked shells. The upper level will include showers and locker rooms, a coach’s office,
classroom space, storage, and a multi-purpose room designed to be used for training and team
meetings. The multi-purpose room will open onto an outdoor viewing platform that overlooks
the Potomac River.
The primary pedestrian entrance to the Boathouse is located on the west side of the Boathouse’s
Water Street frontage. The main entrance is located on a small mezzanine level that will
provide access to both the upper-story program space and lower -story shell storage area.
Access to the water will be provided via a ramp on the eastern side of the Boathouse, which
will connect to the main gangway and dock. The 180-foot dock will be able to a ccommodate
three 60 -foot shell launches at a time. The ramp will also provide dedicated access to the
separate public paddler float dock, which will provide water access when the main dock is in
use by the University.
A site plan and views of the proposed Boathouse from the Potomac River and Water Street
NW are provided for in Exhibits 1-2.
2 Georgetown Boathouse Disposition Analysis
2. Proposed Method of Disposition. D.C. Official Code § 10-801(b)(8).
Once the TOJs from the NPS to the District are completed in late 2026, Lots 812, 813 and the
western portion of to-be closed 35th Street NW under the Key Bridge1 will be controlled by the
District through a TOJ and the District will own Lot 805 in Square 1179 in fee simple.
As such, the Boathouse Parcel will be disposed of as follows:
- Square 1179, Lot 805: A negotiated sale to a for -profit or nonprofit entity for specifically
designated purposes. DC Official Code § 10-801(b)(8)(B).
- Square 1179, Lot 812: A lease for a period of greater than 15 years. DC Official Code §
10-801(b)(8)(C).
- Square 1179, Lot 813 and the western portion of to-be closed 35th Street NW under the
Key Bridge: An exchange of interests in real property, which will be effectuated through
a license agreement. DC Official Code § 10-801(b)(8)(E).
3. Description of efforts to dispose of Property for direct “public benefit” as described in
specific government plan adopted by the Mayor or Council (e.g. Community
Development Plan, the Comprehensive Plan, the Strategic Neighborhood Plan, or the
Comprehensive Housing Strategy Plan). D.C. Official Code § 10-801(a-2).
a. Public Benefits Requested in Solicitation.
Due to the unique nature of the proposed disposition, a direct negotiation with the
University and the National Park Service (the “NPS”) was undertaken in lieu of a
solicitation.
b. Describe any Public Benefits in the proposed Developer’s Development Plan
The University’s Boathouse will provide the following public benefits:
Distinct and unique architecture:
The Boathouse consists of a two-story plus mezzanine structure with a sloped roof and two
pitched roofs, which harmonizes contextually with the similar design of the nearby
Potomac Boat Club. The design and massing of the Boathouse fit within the context of its
waterfront location and adjacency to the Key Bridge. The Water Street frontage features
arched windows on the ground floor, imitating the curvature of both the Key Bridge and
abutment for the former Aqueduct Bridge. The windows provide visibility at the street level
into the shell storage, offering passersby a glimpse into the ground story of the building.
The fieldstone complements the Potomac River and the adjacent Key Bridge. These
characteristics and materials are in keeping with the architectural guidelines set forth in the
2017 Campus Plan, specifically the use of stone and the transparent ground floor that will
activate Water Street and create a welcoming gesture at the head of the Capital Crescent
Trail.
1 The western portion of closed 35th Street to revert to Square 1179, Lot 813.
3 Georgetown Boathouse Disposition Analysis
The siting and massing also maintain porosity and access to the Potomac R iver. On the
west side, the Boathouse is set back approximately 8 feet, which will provide visibility to
the Potomac River between the Boathouse and the structures to the west. Terraced
landscaped forms within this side yard will double as stormwater management facilities.
On the east side, a 15-foot setback from the Key Bridge overhang provides not only
visibility but also accommodates access to the Potomac River.
Finally, the building’s siting and massing also respects the proximity to the Key Bridge
and the Whitehurst Freeway. The Boathouse is set back 15 feet from both the Freeway and
the Bridge to provide DDOT with space for maintenance activities, and the University will
grant DDOT an easement allowing for the same.
Sustainable and Resilient Design:
The Boathouse will be designed to minimum of LEED Silver certification. The building
program and design reflects and respects the Boathouse Parcel’s location within the 100 -
year floodplain and within a “Tidal Shoreline Buffer” area under DOEE’s recently-updated
flood hazard regulations. In accordance with these requirements, the upper -story program
areas are elevated to be at least 3.4 feet above the 500- year floodplain, and the building’s
mechanical equipment is located within a well area set in the sloped roof. The portions of
the Boathouse that are below this line are used for storage only and are designed to be “wet
floodproofed,” meaning that in the event of a flood, the floodwaters will be allowed to
enter the space, thus reducing loads on the structure.
Site and Water Access:
The primary pedestrian entrance to the Boathouse is located on the west side of the
Boathouse’s Water Street frontage. The main entrance is located on a small mezzanine
level that will provide access to both the upper -story program space and lower-story shell
storage area. Access to the water will be provided via a ramp on the eastern side of the
Boathouse, which will connect to the main gangway and dock. The 180- foot dock will be
able to accommodate three 60 -foot shell launches at a time. The ramp will also provide
access to the separate public paddler float dock, which will provide water access when the
main dock is in use by the University.
Multimodal Transportation and Offsite Parking:
The Boathouse will feature 12 short -term bicycle parking spaces adjacent to the Water
Street entrance. The Boathouse will not include any on- site vehicular parking or loading
facilities. Students are expected to walk or bike to the Boathouse, and the University will
arrange for vehicular parking for coaches within nearby parking garage facilities. In
coordination with DDOT, the University is proposing to create a dedicated loading zone
for the loading and unloading of shells for the teams’ weekend away meets on the north
side of Water Street. Specialized trailers designed to accommodate the shells will be stored
under the Key Bridge when not in use pursuant to a license agreement with the District.
4 Georgetown Boathouse Disposition Analysis
Maximizing CBE participation:
The University shall, at a minimum, contract with Certified Business Enterprises for at
least 35% of the contract dollar volume of the Boathouse pr oject in accordance with the
CBE Act.
Generating New Job Opportunities for DC Residents (First Source):
The University will comply with the District’s First Source requirements and has executed
a First Source Agreement. The Boathouse will create new construction job opportunities
for District residents.
Activation of the Boathouse Parcel:
Development of the Boathouse Parcel will convert a longstanding seasonal use site into a
Boathouse that is utilized year round for University athletics, as well as provide year round
public access to the Potomac River through a public paddler float dock, which will provide
water access when the main dock is in use by the University.
c. Public Uses included in proposed Developer’s Development Plan (such as public parks,
construction of roads, sidewalks, and other public amenities).
Public Access for Non-Motorized Paddler Boats:
The University will provide public access to the Potomac River at the Boathouse , both
from the main dock when not in use by the University and from a second public access
dock for non- motorized paddler watercraft, such as kayaks and paddleboards , that will
maintain public access when the University is using the main dock.
Increased Capacity at Thompson’s Boathouse:
The University currently rows from and stores its shells at Thompson’s Boat Center, which
is also used by many other local institutional rowing programs as well as the public. By
relocating to its own boathouse, the University will free up both capacity and storage space
at Thompson’s for other programs and users.
Finally, the Boathouse Parcel is currently used by an NPS concessionaire, Key Bridge
Boathouse, which operates a seasonal facility that offers kayak and paddleboard rentals,
private boat storage and launch access, storage lockers, and related facilities. Th is
concession will be relocated to an adjacent NPS site just west of the Aqueduct Bridge.
4. The chosen method of disposition, and how competition was maximized . D.C. Official
Code § 10-801(b-1)(1)(A).
The Boathouse Parcel will be disposed of as follows:
- Square 1179, Lot 805: A negotiated sale to a for -profit or nonprofit entity for specifically
designated purposes. DC Official Code § 10-801(b)(8)(B).
- Square 1179, Lot 812: A lease for a period of greater than 15 years. DC Official Code §
10-801(b)(8)(C).
5 Georgetown Boathouse Disposition Analysis
- Square 1179, Lot 813 and the western portion of to-be closed 35th Street NW under the
Key Bridge: An exchange of interests in real property, which will be effectuated through
a license agreement that is coterminal with the above sale and lease. DC Official Code §
10-801(b)(8)(E).
a. Description of solicitation process (include form of solicitation, how solicitation was
advertised).
Due to the unique nature of the proposed disposition through a tri-party land swap, a direct
negotiation with the University and the NPS was undertaken.
b. Please describe the competitive bid process, including number of responses. Please also
summarize each qualified bidder for the property. If no competitive process was followed,
please explain why not, and how the developer was chosen and all key terms of the
arrangement.
Due to the unique nature of the proposed disposition through a tri-party land swap, a direct
negotiation with the University and the NPS was undertaken.
c. Please describe any public hearings on the potential disposition and any public comment
received during the public hearings.
The Boathouse has been in the making for many years and the University engaged regularly
with multiple federal and District agencies. The University has met with representatives of
NPS and DMPED on a regular basis as part of the planning process for the Boathouse and
the tri-party land swap that will facilitate its construction. Among other impacts, their input
resulted in the University’s commitment to provide public access for paddler craft, both on
the dedicated public access dock and on the primary dock when not in use by the
University.
The University has also met periodically with representatives of the Office of Planning to
discuss the Boathouse; as a result of this input the University widened the setback on the
west side of the building. The University has also worked closely with DDOT to coordinate
on multiple facets of the Boathouse, resulting in a 15 -foot setback from the Whitehurst
Freeway and the Key Bridge to facilitate maintenance on the facilities and ongoing
development of public realm and roadway configuration on Water Street. Finally, the
University has met with staff at DOEE regarding the proposed zoning relief and other
regulatory aspects of the Boathouse and will continue to coordinate with DOEE staff on
stormwater management, floodplain design, and in-water permitting requirements.
The University has also worked closely with staff at the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts
(“CFA”) / Old Georgetown Board (“OGB”) and the District’s Historic Preservation Office
(“HPO”) on the design of the Boathouse. The University presented the Boathouse to OGB
at its July 3, 2025 meeting, revised the design of the building to increase the height of the
tower elements on the river side of the building, and returned to OGB at its March 5, 2026
6 Georgetown Boathouse Disposition Analysis
meeting, receiving a recommendation for concept approval. The University then presented
the Boathouse to CFA at its March 19, 2025 and received concept approval.
Finally, the University has engaged regularly with local ANCs and other community
stakeholder groups. This engagement includes not only presentations to ANC 2E and ANC
3D but also discussions with the Georgetown Community Partnership as well as other
stakeholders, including the Georgetown Business Improvement District, the Potomac
River Access Coalition, and Georgetown Heritage. Finally, the University has also
discussed the Boathouse with immediate neighbors, including the Potomac Boat Club, the
Washington Canoe Club and other adjacent properties. In response to feedback from ANC
2E and other stakeholders, the University expanded the size of the public access dock,
coordinated with DDOT regarding the configuration of Water Street, agreed to secure off-
site parking for coaches, and developed the short -term bicycle parking and landscaping
plan for the Boathouse.
Due to the unique nature of the tri-party land swap, the above community engagement was
undertaken in lieu of the public disposition hearing.
5. The manner in which economic factors were weighted and evaluated, including estimates
of the monetary benefits and costs to the District that will result from the disposition.
The benefits shall include revenues, fees, and other payments to the District, as well as
the creation of jobs. D.C. Official Code § 10-801(b-1)(1)(B).
The District does not currently control the Boathouse Parcel, the East Parcel , or the Uprive r
Parcel. As part of the tri-party land swap, the District will dispose of the Boathouse Parcel to
the University, the District will acquire waterfront property between the Boathouse Parcel and
Georgetown Waterfront Park (Square 1177, Lot 802 and Square 1178, Lots 800-802) from the
NPS (“East Parcel”) and the University will donate Part of Parcel 301/1 and 301/2 per Deed
recorded in the Land Records as Instrument No. 8900065661 to the National Park Service (the
“Upriver Parcel”).
The East Parcel will provide the District with prime waterfront property on the Potomac River.
Following Council approval of the disposition of the Boathouse Parcel to the University, the
District will commence planning for future uses of the East Parcel.
6. Please describe all disposition methods considered and provide a narrative of the
proposed disposition method that contains comparisons to the other methods and shows
why the proposed method was more beneficial for the District than the others in the areas
of return on investment, subsidies required, revenues paid to the District, and any other
relevant category, or why it is being proposed despite it being less beneficial to the District
in any of the measured categories. D.C. Official Code § 10-801(b-1)(1)(C).
Due to the unique nature of the proposed disposition through a tri -party land swap, as well as
the need for the University to utilize the area under the Key Bridge for the storage of trailers
and shells, disposition will be by fee simple, ground lease and license, as outlined above.

days of receipt of written notice of such failure from another Party and thereafter fails to complete
such cure, correction, or remedy within sixty (60) days of the receipt of such written notice, or,
with respect to defaults that cannot reasonably be cured, corrected or remedied within such sixty
(60) day period, within such additional period of time as is reasona bly required to remedy such

Office for the District of Columbia and number of hours employees of the Office of the Attorney
General for the District of Columbia prepared for or participated in any such litigation.

Use Covenant that is subject to the default, notice and cure provisions set forth therein. If and to
the extent the Unauthorized Withdrawal results in a termination of this LDA or a reversion of the
Boathouse Parcel pursuant to the Construction and Use Covenant, then the District shall be entitled
to pursue a claim and be entitled to recover in damages an amount equal to: (a) twice the amount
of the Unauthorized Withdrawal; (b) the remaining Construction Account Balance; and (c) actual,
documented, out-of-pocket third-party expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by
the District in connection with pursuing such damages.
9.2 Subsequent Debt Financing . In the event that the University elects to pursue
Secured Debt Financing for the Boathouse Project following the date upon which the submission
outlined in Section 9.1.1 must be provided, then the University shall promptly notify the District
and make t he required submissions as soon as practicable under the circumstances. Any such
Secured Debt Financing shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions set forth in this

conditions set forth in the Ground Lease or the Construction and Use Covenant , as applicable .
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the University shall not assign or transfer its
property interests with respect to the Boathouse Parcel prior to Final Completion.
11.2 No Unreasonable Restraint. The University hereby acknowledges and agrees that
the restrictions on transfers set forth in this Article do not constitute an unreasonable restraint on
the University’s right to transfer or otherwise alienate Parcel 1A or Parcel 1 C or its rights under

• The following use covenant:
o “Use shall be limited to the construction and use of a scholastic boathouse designed
solely for non -motorized boathouse athletic use, including camps and summer
programs. Private social gatherings (such as weddings and parties) shall not be
permitted. Uni versity-related uses will be limited to athletic uses as well as
infrequent board meetings, donor appreciation events, and civic events (e.g., ANC
and civic board meetings but not receptions or fundraisers) (each, a “ Permitted
Event”). The boathouse would have a footprint of up to 10,600 square feet, be no
more than 3 stories tall, and have a dock that is 180’ x 20’. The site will
accommodate public access to the waterfront for non-motorized boats through (a)

kayaks and paddler floats), as such dock may be modified subject to approval by
DMPED or its designee, and (b) access to the boathouse’s main dock during
daylight hours, subject to reasonable restrictions during periods of active use by the
university.”
• Unless extended by the District or an event of Force Majeure, f ailure to commence
construction of the Boathouse Project within ten (10) years of Closing shall be a non-
curable violation of the Construction and Use Covenant. Commencement of construction
shall include initiating construction activities pursuant to a vertical construction permit
(i.e., a foundation or building permit).
• Following completion, University will inform the District if there are more than 12
Permitted Events in a year. In no event shall there be more than 24 Permitted Events in a
single calendar year unless approved by the District.
• Violations of the use covenant shall be a default. Failure to timely cure a default shall
subject the Property to reversion to the District.

The following marine engineering scope has been excluded because no CBE was identified who could perform these tasks: (1) prepare the scope of a
bathymetric field investigation and incorporate the results into the
marine
design; (2) conduct marine archaeology study; (3) prepare a waterside
bulkhead design (including geometric layout plans and sections accounting for environmental forces of waves, current, hydrostic, and scour structural
considerations). The following marine engineering scope could be performed by a CBE and therefore is included in the budget: waterside dock and
gangway design and coordination with the US Army Corps of Engineers and National Park Service.
