Do you? Yea...so this building will draw some of the highest rents in the city of Washington DC.? I mean...is it really that great that reviewers would say this is the eyesore of the week? It has got so many improvements!...like minimal plastic to get the glass to fit all together? What more do you want?...It can't be worse than walking past Tiananmen Square every morning? It serves a purpose! I personally don't understand what the big deal is! Do you? Yea...so this building will draw some of the highest rents in the city of Washington DC.?

This is the finest curtain wall in the entire city of Washington. Not only is the detailing of the curtain wall impeccable (IGUs set beautifully and seamlessly into slender plastic frames), but the entry "visor," if I'm not mistaken, has been constructed form finely put together structural glass with stainless spider hardware. This building utilizes the best in current building technology and its mass, prominence on an angled site, and beautiful seamless reflective quality finely gridded by an almost invisible lattice of mullions makes this the finest office building in Washington. And I haven't even mentioned the fact that the office space must be incredible and will probably draw some of the highest rents in the city. Please walk by this building on a crisp, bright day. You will never see the reflection of a beautiful Washington sky in any better form than on this building (with I.M.Pei's Gallery a close second). I have a wonderful photo of it and will send it to you if you'd like. Wow, I have to disagree completely. This is the finest curtain wall in the entire city of Washington.
