The Celsius. C’mon that’s got to be the worst. Wait, no, when I hear Celsius I think of cold or cool. So this is probably a cool building. Yeah, I get it now. I guess the Fahrenheit would be a good name as well. Actually the Gesundheit would be pretty bad ass…

I believe the official “worst name for a condo in DC” was ‘The Ember’. The new condo association promptly changed it to ‘The Providence’ upon taking over management. I believe the building down the street is still unfortunately named, ‘The Green Ember’.

“Turning up the heat in Columbia Heights” posted outside when they were selling units.

I thought the slogan was “For Those Who Wish They Lived in Canada.”

Hah! I have a family member that lives in there. We make fun of the name all the time.

It’s not nearly as cool as The Kelvin.

Isn’t that what Stan Lee says at the end of Spiderman and his amazing friends.
Did I just date myself.
On second thought, I think he says excelisor.

I’m told that the same developer is actually rehabbing a place next door and they’re really going to call it the Farenheit. No bullshit.

Hands down, the most entertaining and perhaps worst name for a condo building is in Adams Morgan – The Shawmut. The dirty/gross-minded eighth-grader within all of us understands why.

“The Tiffany” – 16xx D St SE
As for Arthur’s comment – “The Axis”, I call that one “The Charlie Brown Condo” since the developer butchered & killed that huge Oak tree in front of the Building. The dead trunk is still there too.
