“The area surrounding Nationals Park in the Capitol Riverfront submarket is a premier gateway to this dynamic neighborhood,” said John Begert, Principal at MRP Realty. “We already see high demand for both the location and Maren’s robust suite of amenities. With KETTLER’s local market knowledge, we feel the lease-up will be swift.”

Maren will feature unobstructed waterfront views of the Anacostia River along with the high-end finishes, amenities, and the outstanding customer experience for which KETTLER is known.

“We look forward to continuing our partnership with MRP Realty and Florida Rock and building on the outstanding success of Maren’s sister property, Dock 79,” said Robert Grealy, Executive Vice President of Operations at KETTLER.
