Amaris continues to turn heads and set records from its gorgeous perch on The Wharf.
Warm, neutral hues grace each condo
Earlier this year, a penthouse sale at Amaris (amarisdc.com) on The Wharf caused a buzz among the real estate community. But this wasn’t just any penthouse or price tag: The property sold for $12,762,000, breaking a record for the most expensive condo in the DC region.

This place is special.
Amaris (Latin for “you are loved”), the ambitious project designed by internationally renowned architect Rafael Viñoly (vinoly.com) with interiors by celebrated New York City architect Thomas Juul-Hansen (thomasjuulhansen.com), sits alongside the water and rises 12 stories. The building holds 96 condos and seven penthouses—70% sold.
Residences boast floor-to-ceiling windows, private outdoor balconies or terraces, and blend warm, natural materials with features like wide-plank French white oak flooring. Stevali Italian kitchen cabinetry and hardware grace the kitchen, showcasing honed marble countertops, full-height backsplash and a premium appliance package featuring Thermador and Bosch. Select residences also feature a private elevator.
The chic Amaris lobby sets the tone for the entire building.
For those who call Amaris home, enjoying amenity spaces (20,000 square feet) is part of the property’s glam factor.
