Unveiling Placemakr Buzzard Point: A New Era in Hotel Stays

Placemakr has officially announced the launch of its exciting new pop-up hotel, Placemakr Buzzard Point, set within the stunning environment of The Stacks in Washington DC. This modern facility will open its doors to guests starting March 27, 2025. Focused on offering a flexible, luxurious lodging experience, this pop-up hotel is an opportunity for visitors to enjoy an array of contemporary apartment-style accommodations, complemented by top-notch hospitality services.

Located in the vibrant Buzzard Point neighborhood, which is rapidly developing along the waterfront, The Stacks covers approximately seven acres and promises an exciting urban experience with a rich mix of shops, restaurants, and recreational areas. Guests can choose from more than 120 fully furnished units, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, each featuring expansive views of the surrounding DC, Maryland, and Virginia landscapes.

The neighborhood is not just a hub for travelers but serves as a community spot for locals too. With Audi Field and Nationals Park just a stone's throw away, it's a perfect haven for sports enthusiasts. The area boasts lively outdoor spaces, bustling eateries, and tranquil settings where guests can unwind. Additionally, the proximity to attractions such as The Wharf and The Yards enriches the Placemakr experience, rewarding visitors with endless dining and entertainment choices.

Inside The Byron, which houses Placemakr Buzzard Point, guests will find an elegant design replete with airy interiors that create a welcoming atmosphere. Managed by Greystar, The Byron includes over 23,000 square feet dedicated to lobby and community amenities, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. One of its standout features is the newly opened FLEX gym, which spans 10,000 square feet and offers a unique range of fitness opportunities, complete with a cold plunge, sauna, and outdoor workout areas.

The hotel also features a penthouse level that boasts a multisport simulator, refined coworking and lounge spaces, a game room complete with billiards, and outdoor terraces fitted with fire pits, making it an ideal environment for both relaxation and innovation.

As Jason Fudin, CEO and co-founder of Placemakr, stated, The growth of the Capitol Riverfront in Southwest DC is something that's been a long time coming. We’re excited to be a part of this dynamic neighborhood alongside our partners Akridge, BCCAP, Bridge, and National. Placemakr's pop-up experience symbolizes its commitment to innovatively merging short-term accommodations with high-quality amenities, characteristic of luxury hospitality.

This initiative comes on the heels of the recent launch of Placemakr's pop-up hotel in Santa Clara, CA, along with a series of permanent locations established in prominent cities, including San Antonio, TX, Pittsburgh, PA, and Atlanta, GA. With plans to expand both their pop-up and permanent locations throughout 2025 and beyond, Placemakr continually echoes its mission of mixing apartment living with hotel-like services effectively.

Adam Gooch, managing director and chief development officer of Akridge, stated, At The Stacks, we are shaping a dynamic waterfront neighborhood that seamlessly blends vibrant city living with thoughtfully designed spaces. Placemakr is the ideal partner to bring this vision to life and help the public discover all that this neighborhood has to offer.

This unique partnership aims to broaden opportunities for both locals and visitors, allowing everyone to explore and experience everything The Stacks has to offer. Katie Hartley, director of development for National Real Estate Development, remarked, We are excited to welcome many new faces to our dynamic neighborhood in the heart of Buzzard Point.
