The second phase of the Wharf, under construction since 2019, will bring another half-mile of mixed-use development to the glitzy waterfront destination when it finishes in 2022. Among the new additions: Amaris, a 96-unit, 12-story condo building, with amenities like an indoor saltwater lap pool, a “spa suite” with private treatment rooms, and a car elevator that will take residents’ vehicles down into the garage.
The residences will all have outdoor balconies or terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows for taking in views of the Washington Channel, plus high-end finishes such as honed marble countertops, custom Italian cabinetry, and white oak floors. One-bedrooms will start at $690,000, with nearly 6,000-square-foot penthouses reaching all the way up to $12 million-plus.
