There are a couple of condos from that building that are currently on the market. Might make for a nice GDoN:

Cristobal,

I live on 17th right across from this building. I can see it from my roof above the power lines. It really looks pretty at dusk when the sun is shining right behind the copper. I’ll take a picture tomorrow and maybe PoP can update.

The W street residence is already rusting and it is only a couple of years old…I think Division 1 cheaped out on something…

Those who live around it (and have to look at it every day instead of just in a photo) refer to it as the beer can….but at the end of the day it’s probably the best use of PUD the city has done.

Yes, it’s copper cladding.

So is the building going to turn green once it oxidizes?

Its one of my favorite buildings in the District as well, along with W Street Residences. Modern, high quality materials, and not a hint of brick. It would look more at home in Seattle though I think.
