Toll Brothers Apartment Living® will oversee the building's marketing, leasing and property management.

"We're extremely excited to be launching the Toll Brothers Apartment Living brand in the Nation's capital," said Charles Elliott, Managing Director of Toll Brothers Apartment Living. "River Parc is sure to be a great addition to the wonderful Capitol Riverfront neighborhood."
When complete, River Parc will offer luxury apartments ranging from studio to 2-bedroom plus dens, as well as an amazing suite of amenities including a landscaped rooftop pool with views of the Capitol, a 24-hour concierge, fitness center and yoga room, a high-tech resident's lounge and a pet salon.
