The Wharf Contractors Clark Construction Settle Multimillion-Dollar Lawsuit Over Design, Construction

The lead firms who built the first phase of The Wharf have agreed to put an end to their lawsuits over alleged design flaws on Hoffman-Madison Waterfront’s $2.5 billion, mixed-use project on D.C.’s Southwest waterfront.

General contracting firm Clark Construction and architecture and engineering firm Perkins Eastman have agreed to dismiss the claims and counterclaims they filed roughly two years ago over their roles and responsibilities in The Wharf’s first phase, according to a stipulation they filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Each party will be responsible for bearing their own costs associated with the litigation, according to the motion, which did not disclose any additional conditions or terms surrounding the settlement.

A representative for Perkins Eastman said the issue was amicably and mutually resolved but declined to comment further. A representative for Clark declined to comment on the specifics of the settlement but said the company is “pleased to have reached an amicable agreement on all outstanding project matters” and looks forward to working with Perkins Eastman on future projects.
