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]
