901 New York Avenue

901 New York Avenue NW is a striking Postmodern office building located in Downtown Washington, D.C., completed in 2005. Developed by Boston Properties, it was part of a revitalization effort for the Mount Vernon Square neighborhood. The building stands 140 feet tall with 11 stories and features a polished granite facade and a spacious atrium. Historically, the site was once filled with Victorian homes but underwent significant changes in the late 20th century, including the razing of buildings due to urban decline and the 1968 riots. The area has transformed from a vibrant residential district to a modern business hub, with the building housing various government agencies and law firms. Notably, the ground floor previously featured Acadiana, a celebrated restaurant, which has since been replaced by Yardbird Southern Table & Bar. The building's location near CityCenterDC and its architectural significance make it an interesting stop for tourists and researchers alike.
