Since 1990, the building of a new U.S. Department of Transportation office complex and Nationals Park, the new USD$600 million stadium of the Washington Nationals Major League Baseball team, caused quick changes in the neighborhood. Most of the neighborhood's land and businesses have been purchased by companies and is currently being developed into commercial and residential projects. The area plans to contain 12 to 15,000,000 square feet (1,400,000 m²) of office space, 9,000 residential units, 1,200 hospitality rooms, 800,000 square feet (74,000 m²) of retail space, four public parks, and an Anacostia Riverwalk trail system.
