Editing Navy Yard Redevelopment (section)

== Current Development ==

Recent years have brought residential development to the Navy Yard, with apartment buildings adding population to a district that previously emptied after work hours. Retail and restaurant amenities serve both workers and residents, creating street-level activity that office development alone cannot provide. Parks and trails connect buildings and provide recreational amenity. These additions move the Navy Yard toward the mixed-use character that creates vibrant districts.<ref name="pidc"/>

The Navy Yard's development continues with additional projects planned and under construction. The district's success has generated momentum that attracts continued investment, though the site's scale means that full buildout will require decades more of development. The transformation to date demonstrates what thoughtful planning and persistent effort can achieve, while remaining work illustrates the long timeframes that large-scale urban development requires.<ref name="gallery"/>
