A new development on the boards can unironically describe itself in relation to The White Home.

Foulger-Pratt has submitted a zoning application to convert the 1990s-period office environment constructing at 1425 New York Avenue NW (map) into 255 rental residences over 3,135 sq. ft of professional area. The office building sits much less than a block from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. 

Although most of the existing structural elements of the setting up will keep on being, the articulated pre-cast  concrete façade will be offered a facelift that simplifies and squares it off. The street stage entrances will be modernized, and the present triangular recessed balconies fronting New York Avenue will be reconfigured into standard and juliet balconies.

The present developing atrium will be transformed into a courtyard, which will also supply mild and air for the household units interior to the making. There will be other amenities on the floor ground and an indoor/outdoor penthouse amenity with pool deck. WDG Architecture is the designer.

The growth team shared options at the ANC 2C assembly Tuesday night time, the place they also obtained a vote in favor of a letter of assistance for the application. Interestingly, the workforce has also been in discussion with the Secret Company, specified the project’s close proximity to The White Residence. 

A zoning hearing has not been scheduled.
