1333 H Street NW is a high-rise building in Northwest Washington, D.C. The building rises 12 floors and 157 feet (48 m) in height.[1]

The building is ranked 28th on the list of tallest buildings in Washington, D.C., tied in rank with 1620 L Street, 1010 Mass, 1000 Connecticut Avenue, the Republic Building, 1111 19th Street, the Army and Navy Club Building and the hotel/office building of the Watergate complex.

History

1333 H Street NW 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]

Ownership

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] which acquired it for $130.7 million or about $486 per square foot.[7] It 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 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][11]

Tenants

The structure is composed almost entirely of office space, with 802,500 square feet (75,000 m2) of commercial area; the lower levels contain parking spaces and retail.[1] Tenants include the Center for American Progress, Pivotal Ventures by Melinda Gates,[12] the Institute for International Finance, Reuters, and Democracy Forward,[13] among others.[9]
