Phase one of the development, which is called The Wharf, is scheduled to open in October 2017.

The 11 picked include:
- Perkins Eastman DC: This firm is the masterplanner and the "horizontal architect" for all phase two infrastructure and underground parking.
- SHoP Architects & WDG Architecture: These companies will collaborate on parcels six and seven.
- ODA: This firm will design the mixed-income apartments and related retail slated for parcel eight.

When complete the second phase will include an additional 1.2 million square feet of mixed-use development including office, residential, marina, and retail space, as well as parks and public spaces, across half a mile of waterfront.
The groundbreaking for phase two will take place in mid-2018, with an expected completion date in 2021.
