Commercial office in D.C., United States
1333 H Street is a high-rise building in Northwest Washington, D.C. The building rises 12 floors and 157 feet (48 m) in height.[1]
History
1333 H Street contains two connected buildings; the older west tower and the more recent east tower that was built in 1912 and 1982, respectively.[3] Therefore, they have different architectural styles; the west tower exemplifies Beaux-Arts architecture, while the east tower is an example of modern architecture. Additionally, the building's entire facade incorporates glass, granite, and limestone as its material.[1]
The building's ownership has changed several times. The first owner of the building was George Washington University.[3] In 2008, it was bought by Miller Global Properties LLC, co-chaired by Myron Miller and Eyal Ofer[5] of Global Holdings,[6] who paid $130.7 million or about $486 per square foot to acquire it.[7] It later sold the office to the MRP Realty and Rockpoint Group in 2014.[8] After less than a half year ownership, the company sold the building for $162.5 million to the TA Realty, a company under Rockefeller Group in late 2015.[3] Following the acquisition, the building was renovated in 2017.[9] The renovation project included the new lobby, facade, and transition change between the towers. It was overseen by the previous owner, MRP Realty and managed by Davis Construction.[4][10]
