DC USA is an 890,000-square-foot (83,000 m²) vertical power center, i.e. a multilevel enclosed urban shopping center anchored by big box stores. It is located in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington, D.C. A Washington City Paper poll named DC USA the "Best Designed Retail Space" of 2009.^[1] The development is adjacent to the Columbia Heights station on the Green Line of the Washington Metro. It is also served by eight bus routes and has a 1,000-space parking garage.

The complex is accessible to more than 36,000 residents within a 10-minute walk of the site. A total of 335,000 residents live within a 3-mile (4.8 km) radius.^[2] The development has been designed to fit into its urban setting, with the buildings holding the street line to frame the sidewalks and continue the urban scale.

Target, one of the anchors, has expanded its urban store concept to numerous cities across the country.^[3] In 2013 it opened a store in a redeveloped historic office building in the heart of Portland, Oregon.^[4]
