Built in 1966, The 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW is one of the capital city’s first premiere full service commercial office properties located in the Central Business District submarket. Just steps from the White House, the Mills Building is a 165,724 square foot mixed-use building offering Class A office space and ground floor retail. The 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue’s landscaped rooftop terrace takes luxury to new heights, with 5,500 square feet of indoor-outdoor space towering above unparalleled views of DC. Clients enjoy exclusive access to this space and the opportunity to host meetings, corporate gatherings, and social events all year long utilizing the galvanized steel framed benches wrapped in teak wood.
The all-weather benches are artisan-crafted from hot-dip galvanized steel frames and from natural teak hardwood carefully formed over the curved galvanized frames. The frames are hand-finished to emphasize the wood’s coloring and unique, organic features. Perfectly selected to endure the elements, teak is especially durable due to its natural oils, which resist insects and help prevent drying, and adding it with the hot-dip galvanized frame, it’s maintenance free for years to come.
"But for this corner, 17th and Penn, we think it has potential if we add a more modern look with attractive finishes.”
