Four Seasons Private Residences Georgetown has logged condominium sales exceeding $2,400 per square foot in Washington D.C., a threshold no previous project in the capital region has crossed. The 49-unit development, embedded within the existing Four Seasons Hotel Georgetown, began closings in Q4 2024 and has now established a new pricing ceiling for branded residential product between Philadelphia and Charlotte.
The previous high-water mark sat near $1,850 per square foot, set by The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown in 2019. Four Seasons broke that figure without fanfare in late November, then again in December, with two transactions north of $2,500 per square foot for corner units above the eighth floor. Inventory remains at 11 unsold units as of mid-January 2025, with asking prices holding steady despite broader softness in D.C. office and non-luxury multifamily sectors. The developer, a joint venture between The Winthrop Company and Aspen Heights Partners, has not disclosed total sellout projections, but comparable projects in this size range typically target $250M to $320M in aggregate sales.
This matters because Four Seasons is resetting the valuation framework for branded residences in secondary U.S. cities at a moment when coastal gateway markets show fatigue. Miami, Los Angeles, and even parts of Manhattan have seen luxury condo inventory expand faster than absorption since mid-2023. Washington D.C., by contrast, has added fewer than 90 new luxury units in the past 18 months, and the Four Seasons product is the only actively selling project with a globally recognized hospitality operator attached. The pricing achievement suggests that scarcity and operational pedigree now outweigh pure location premium in markets where ultra-high-net-worth buyers have limited alternatives.
The structure of the Georgetown project also clarifies a shift in how hospitality operators approach residential ventures. Unlike earlier models where Four Seasons licensed its name to third-party developers with minimal operational involvement, the Georgetown residences share direct access to the hotel's concierge, room service, and spa facilities. Owners pay a monthly fee estimated between $1,800 and $3,200 depending on unit size, which covers services but not underlying HOA costs. This operational integration, rather than branding alone, appears to justify the premium. The model mirrors Four Seasons' approach in London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, where per-square-foot pricing exceeds $3,000 in part because the real estate purchase includes a permanent claim on hotel-grade services without the friction of separate club memberships or à la carte billing.
Allocators tracking hospitality-adjacent real estate should watch whether this pricing velocity spreads to other Four Seasons residential projects under construction. The company has active developments in Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, and a second phase at Disney's Golden Oak in Orlando, all scheduled for delivery between Q3 2025 and Q1 2027. If those projects match or exceed local records on a per-square-foot basis, the thesis strengthens that branded residences now command structural premiums in any market with constrained luxury inventory, regardless of traditional tier rankings. Conversely, if Jacksonville or Fort Lauderdale struggle to clear $1,500 per square foot, the Georgetown result remains an outlier driven by D.C.-specific buyer profiles, likely foreign nationals and Beltway principals seeking low-friction ownership in a politically stable market.
The last Georgetown unit to trade publicly—a 3,400-square-foot penthouse—closed at $8.7M in early January, roughly $2,560 per square foot. The buyer was an undisclosed family office with no prior D.C. real estate holdings.
The takeaway
Four Seasons Georgetown broke **$2,400**/sq ft, proving branded scarcity beats gateway fatigue in luxury condos.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.
Built by the craft floor — apparel, media, packaging, and secure print.
This trade runs on hands, not desks. Imprint manufacturing & Komori Press · Canon high-speed secure-media operations is a craft floor — genuine Six Sigma discipline applied to ink, thread, foil, and registration, where a hundredth of an inch is the difference between a brand that reads serious and one that reads cheap. POPS4 is built by exactly those operators: independent, boots-on-the-ground engineers who carry their own book, read a client in microseconds, and put their name on every run. Beyond our own Virginia Beach floor, we work with a vetted network of craft manufacturers across the US — each meeting the highest excellence in QC standards in the industry, each a specialist in its own discipline — so apparel, hard-goods imprinting, media manufacturing, packaging, and secure printing all go to the bench built for them, coordinated from one accountable hub.
