National Harbor, a new addition to the Potomac waterfront encompasses a 300 acre mixed use development in Prince George's County, Maryland.  When completed, the new urban waterfront community will boast the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, along with four other hotels, condominiums, offices, retail shops, a marina, and the National Children's Museum.

The National Harbor project is the vision of Milt Peterson, and is estimated to cost roughly 2.1 Billion dollars upon completion.  The cluster of modern buildings protruding from the formerly forested landscape edges up to the Potomac river, looking proudly at Old Town's colonial silhouette.  It seems to emanate a luxurious and alluring image to tourists looking out at the water. 

On sunny days, you can see the light reflecting from the high end Gaylord Resort, and as its neighbors are completed, an illuminated urban area will be seen at night.  It is certain that National Harbor has made its impact on the Potomac River, which now boasts two very different planned towns fro`    m different era's right across from each other. 

National Harbor is located directly across the Potomac from Old Town Alexandria, and is accessible by road, as well as water taxi to either Old Town, or the District of Columbia via Georgetown.   

It is expected that National Harbor will eventually generate over one billion dollars for Prince George's county.
