Navy Yard went up fast, and it shows: glassy high-rise apartments and condos crowded along the Anacostia riverfront around Nationals Park and Audi Field. These are new buildings with strict rules, reserved freight elevators, loading docks you have to book, and a certificate of insurance required before you set foot inside. FLYT moves people in and out of these towers all the time, running crews in from Ashburn and Manassas with the paperwork done ahead.

COIs are non-negotiable here
Nearly every Navy Yard building requires a certificate of insurance naming the property and management before move day, and they check. Show up without it and you're not getting on the elevator. We handle the COI as soon as you book, matching each building's exact wording, so there's no scramble the morning of. It's the single most common thing that trips people up in these towers, and we take it off your plate.
Freight elevators and loading docks
Moves in these high-rises run through a reserved freight elevator and a scheduled loading-dock window, not the front lobby. Slots fill up, especially on weekends and the first of the month. We book your elevator and dock time with the building early and plan the load to fit the window. The freight car gets padded, the dock stays clear, and the crew works to the clock so you're not bumping into another tenant's reservation.
Riverfront traffic and game days
The blocks around Nationals Park and the Navy Yard Metro get jammed on game days and event nights, and street parking is tight and metered where it exists. We check the Nats and Audi Field schedules and time your move to miss the crowds pouring toward the ballpark. Loading through the dock keeps us off the busiest streets, but timing still matters when 30,000 people are heading to a game.
New towers, easy coordination
The upside of Navy Yard's new construction is real: wide hallways, modern freight elevators, and building staff who move tenants in and out constantly. Once the COI, dock, and elevator are locked, these moves go smoothly. Your dedicated coordinator handles the building back-and-forth, and if you're moving in before a lease starts or between places, our climate-controlled Ashburn storage bridges the gap.

Frequently asked questions
Does my Navy Yard building require a COI to move in?
Almost certainly yes. Navy Yard high-rises require a certificate of insurance naming the property and management before move day, and they enforce it strictly. We prepare the COI to each building's exact wording as soon as you book, so you're cleared to use the freight elevator on move day.
How do freight elevator and loading dock reservations work here?
The building assigns a freight elevator and a loading-dock window, and popular slots go fast on weekends and the first of the month. We book your elevator and dock time early, pad the freight car, and plan the load to finish inside the window so you don't run into another tenant's reservation.
Can you move on a Nationals game day?
We can, but timing matters. Streets around Nationals Park and Audi Field get packed and parking disappears on game and event days. We check the schedule and set your start time to miss the crowds, and loading through the building's dock keeps us off the busiest riverfront streets.
Is there parking for a moving truck in Navy Yard?
Street parking is tight and metered, so we rely on the building's loading dock instead. We reserve the dock window with management ahead of time. If a particular building routes moves to the curb, we help arrange temporary no-parking signs through DDOT to hold the space.
Can you store my things before my Navy Yard lease starts?
Yes. If your move-in date and your move-out date don't line up, our climate-controlled storage in Ashburn holds everything as long as you need. Once your building clears your COI and elevator reservation, we deliver and move you in on schedule.
